WARNING

This update is only for the Beta. The Beta allows you to play on the islands Tarvhas which runs on the 5.3 Unity engine. After the content is all functional, we will move the Beta build to the default branch (the main build). At that point, the Sundered Isles will be moved to a legacy branch for those that want to use your old saves. Thank you for your patience during this time as we rapidly update the title.

Big Changes:
