Artwork for the new set is progressing, and we've received several concept sketches from V:TES player and returning artist Noora Hirvonen of Finland. Thanks, Noora!

Today's Quote:
"If there is in this world a well-attested account, it is that of vampires. Nothing is lacking: official reports, affidavits of well-known people, of surgeons, of priests, of magistrates; the judicial proof is most complete. And with all that, who is there who believes in vampires?"
- Jean-Jacques Rousseau, letter to the Archbishop of Paris, "The Social Contract, Or Principles of Political Right"
