<blockquote>
==== A new tale arrives on the tailwind ====
 
While the hunters of Gnawnia were occupied by the Jet Stream in the Low and High Altitude Floating Islands, something strange was afloat in the Empyrean Sky Palace!
 
  
There were several eyewitness reports of a mouse from another place that was visiting the Sky Palace and appeared to be searching for something. According to the locals, after savouring the opulence of the palace, the mouse managed to get its paws on something very valuable before returning home so it seems that it must have found what it was looking for.

==== Jaqueline the Spice Merchant Returns to Queso Canyon ====
 +
The travelling spice merchant Jaqueline, or "Big Jaq" as she's known to friends, has once again setup her Spice Shack in the Queso Canyon! Visit any General Store in the areas of the Queso Canyon region to browse her popup shop where all sorts of spicy deals are available.
  
After hearing these troubling reports, the King is calling upon the hunters of Gnawnia to uncover the truth behind this mysterious mouse and its clandestine intentions.
+
While Big Jaq is visiting, there are also some unique loot drops to find! Boost your Bland Queso collection by recovering Kegs of Bland Queso from mice throughout the Queso Canyon region.
  
==== A curious discovery by the Cartographer ====
+
==== Kegs of Bland Queso ====
The Floating Islands' Cartographer has made a very interesting discovery! It seems that the mysterious mouse who had infiltrated the Sky Palace, left something behind on lower altitudes in its haste to return home. The Cartographer has analyzed it and it appears to be instructions for building a powerful looking glass with an enchanted reflection that reveals an entirely new region in Gnawnia!
+
Big Jaq's Bland Queso Kegs have been stolen! Catch mice in Queso Canyon for a chance to get a cheesy reward (she won't mind you keeping the kegs for yourself). The kegs come in three sizes and you can use Wild Tonic to shake loose '''double''' the kegs when mice drop them!
  
The Cartographer is confident that the item can successfully be assembled as long as they are provided with the right materials. How to find these strange materials is a mystery in itself, so hunters are encouraged to stop by the Cartographer's shop to see if they can decipher the location of these three bizarre new items.

A mysterious force has been affecting the spores that grow in the Hollow Heights region which has imbued them with more power than ever before! As a result, a new Extreme Spore Charm has been created and all existing spore charms have had a permanent increase to their stats! Not only are they more powerful than ever but the spores are now easier to work with so the Charm Shoppes of the Fungal Cavern, Labyrinth, and Zokor have begun to sell them for a significantly reduced cost compared to their previous crafting recipes.
