New Patch: Welcome to Tychris

And now it’s finally time to unleash the very tip of the very, very massive project I and several other writers have been pecking away at for a good chunk of the year: Tychris, the City of Sorcery!

This area’s entirely optional, but will include another royal romance option and godsworn possibility — as well as a plotline centered around investigation rather than martial prowess, as befits the realm of the goddess of knowledge.

Please note: the Princess's Dilemma quest cannot be completed yet. There's a whole bunch of NPCs and plot bits left to add to the city!

0.9.2 Patch Notes:

Tychris Palace

• Either seven days after attaining either the Champion of Frost or Champion of Hawkethorne titles, or after arriving in Khor’minos City, whichever comes first, you’ll receive a letter of invitation from the court of Tychris, another settlement a few days west of Hawkethorne, asking you to come and regale the princeps with the story of your heroism.

• (You should also need to have unlocked the Hawkethorne Waystone to get the message, as the Ways Between are the only method to get back after a days-long carriage ride!)

• New area: Tychris Palace! A grand palace sitting overlooking a city renowned for its sorcery and its glassworks alike. The palace includes a Temple of Nareva, magnificent gardens, and the fields in which the Tycathalon — the biggest sporting even in the north — takes place.

• New quest: The Princess’s Dilemma. Something’s afoot in Tychris, and it’ll take a Champion’s hand to put it right. You can’t finish this quest yet, as we’ll be rolling out the relevant NPCs over the next several updates.

• AddedNew Tychris NPCsQueen-Consort Tethys and Princess Kythie! Both can be found on the top floor of Tychris Palace. Kythie has a suite of sex scenes immediately available, though she can be a bit to handle!

• New Tychris NPC: Magister Vasko. The Court Magister for the city’s princeps can be found on the 2nd floor of the palace, working away in his office. (Sex currently not included, but coming soon!)

• AddedNew Tychris NPCYnes. Found in the Temple of Nareva. She has a number of items and powers available for sale, and over 100 pages of content you can unlock…

• New Tychris Event: After meeting Ynes, you can find her in the gardens opposite from the temple during the night, up to some shady business.

• AddedNew Tychris EventAfter the garden encounter, another trip to the Temple will give you a chance to talk to the captain of the Order Astrida, Nareva’s personal retinue of mage-slayers. Depending on your choices, this will open up some new interactions with Ynes after the event.
• AddedNew Tychris EventAfter having seen Lazaran’s letter and talked to Kythie about it, a new option will appear in the palace gardens.

• New Busts: Prince Evander, Lady Tethys, Princess Kythie, Magister Vasko, Ynes, Lady Eirina

Everything Else!

• New dreams about Setsuna, your precious kitsune daughter with Tetsuya

• A new encounter has been added to the Undermountain. A sneaky, slithery serpentine scoundrel will sometimes try to jump you as you wander the dark depths of the caverns – but she’s an opportunistic sort and won’t try to attack if she thinks you know she’s there (meaning, the encounter is optional).

• After five encounters with her, win or lose, a new tile will unlock near the Undermountain’s Waystone, where she can be spoken with regularly. Raizel the Hybrid is a social outcast with a somber story and she has a hard time opening up to people, but if you give her some time, patience, care, and attention (read: a good fuck or two) she’ll eventually start to warm up to you. She has lots of branching dialogue for if you have a background in hooliganism or as a courtesan.

• Raizel is hermaphrodite hybrid between a veparus (naga) and a pexighast (lizardfolk), and starts off as a no-frills dom, concerned with her own pleasure, but the more she likes you, the more she’ll prioritize your enjoyment.

• Ryn has a new blowjob scene! (Written by Grimace, Coded by Squishy!)

• Small Lyric has a new breastfeeding scene. (Written by Grimace, Coded by Squishy!)

• The game’s terminology of “Physical/Mental/Magical Resistance” (as the equivalent of Evasion against such types of attacks) has been changed to “Physical/Mental/Magical Defense” to avoid confusion with elemental resistances.
