A recap on what the new content is:

This mod will be greatly expanded to include many new areas to explore, quests to under take and plenty of enemies to fight. One of the main encounters will deal with the return of a Baldur's Gate villain who is manipulating others to do his/her bidding.

The other main encounter deals with an individual's return. Information on this encounter will basically stay in secrecy. Who this person is, well they have not appeared in any of the Baldur's Gate games but they are known in the Forgotten Realms setting.

Now for the bulk of the new content. The new areas of The Undying's expansion deal with the Stonecrusher clan. This will kick off when Magnus Stonecrusher, the owner of The Dwarven Hammer, asks for help when his clan is in trouble. There are also other minor quests to take in the Stonecrusher Delve besides the main quest for a total of four so far. There is a minor new quest unrelated to the dwarves. A new NPC, Shi'nayne Auvryndar a drow mage, may join your group if you complete the main Stonecrusher quest. There will be another joinable NPC, a dwarf named Taer Onyx. He will join you after you do the main Stonecrusher quest. Since you helped the dwarf king out, he has permitted his best battlerager to join your quest to stop Irenicus. But remember he is on loan, once you defeat Irenicus he returns home. Also in the Stonecrusher Delve you will find Charsi who will upgrade armor and weapons if you happen to have the right combination of items. Other revelations will be revealed as progress goes.]]> Sat, 17 Jul 2010 01:41:36 -0400 http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showtopic=20560 CoM: Yasraena Version 12 Released http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showtopic=20470

Lava Del'Vortel has released the next mod in his "Colours of Infinity" series, entitled "Innershade".

"Follow a path between the trees to find a very new village to visit: the village of Innershade. It's been having some problems lately: some people disappeared, and the attacker was never seen. You must stop the guilty party, if you can. Solving the problem may be not enough; getting rid of the attacker is only one of the ways to handle this. The second is understanding the motives and past that became a great burden. In the end, you may have to become a judge of sorts. In the village, you will also find some minor problems, and even a little affair. Meet Eva, a female blacksmith with a really explosive character. Listen to Li'l Bud's tales about heroes and villains. If you are a bard, maybe you will learn a new skill from a not-too-kind minstrel. Don't forget to visit Granny Bunny, a really nice and kind elderly lady, who will tell you some stories from her past. What else can she offer? Hot tea with some jam, homemade biscuits, and a warm smile."

The Undying is a WeiDU-based mod for Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal. This mod adds two new NPCs who will join your party, Callisto T'sarran and Ninafer.

Callisto is a Chaotic Evil elven berserker fighter with a tragic past. She has a hatred towards the world in general and an undying hate towards those who destroyed her life when she was young. Nothing will stand in her way to exact bloody revenge on those who wronged her.

Ninafer is a Lawful Neutral elven fighter/mage who is trying to find her way in the world of Toril. She's your typical thrill seeking adventurer who is bored with the home life.

This mod also includes new encounters, which is part of Callisto's Quest to find those who wronged her in the past, new items are added, seven new stores, many banters and interjections and three minor quests. Ninafer will flirt around with Anomen if Anomen and your female character are not romancing each other. Their relationship continues into Throne of Bhaal. This mod incorporates the former Ninafer NPC mod and Desecration of Souls. As usual, The Undying should be compatible with most other WeiDu-based mods, and should be installed after all official patches.

Also check the forums for progress on Version 3 which will include new places to explore, more adventure and another NPC who will join your party.

Yikari is a NPC for BG2 - SoA (ToB required). He is a monk from Kara-Tur and can be found in the Temple District in Athkatla. He is Lawful Neutral, highly wise, but not all that intelligent. He knows he's a perfectly competent fighter, but doesn't pick fights with other NPCs. He is used to a chain of command, and will accept the PC's decisions without much trouble. Yikari tries not to anger anyone, but he's no walkover. He just is so efficient that he never get into a fight if he doesn't have to. He often tries teaching NPCs the benefits of self-control, and all the stuff he learnt in his monastery. He is a visitor to the sword coast and many things seem strange to him. He cannot help regarding everyone (except Yoshimo) as foreigners.

The changes in v1.7 are:
# Made Kuroisan interjection also compatible with The Big Picture
# Changed the way Yikari is spawned to improve compatibility with other mods
