I've been working on some background stuff for Warsim and also went on a roadtrip so I've not spent much time working on stuff I can release, but I have accumulated this little bundle of new features and fixes so I figured I'd release them now before I start working on another chunk of combat update stuff! I hope you enjoy :)

**WHAT IS THAT NOISE IN BLACKROW PRISON (4 features)**

Once an old ruin with little worth doing, now the source of strange screeches and cries! What's going on?
