New Area: The Seven Heavens
In religious or mythological cosmology, the seven heavens refer to the seven divisions of the
Heavens: The abode of immortal beings, or the visible sky, including the expanse containing the Sun, 
Moon, and stars. This concept dates back to ancient Mesopotamian mythologies and can later be found 
in the Abrahamic religions such as Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. The Seven Heavens is a new area 
in Ancient and can be approached by solo characters for levels 45+. Some encounters and quests in 
the area, however, will require a small group to complete.

The Seven Heavens has a similar gameplay to that of Inferno and Medieval Japan in a sense that it is
an area heavily based on completing quests to gain progress and discover & explore its secrets.


New Code Feature: Factions.
Factions have the potential to allow you to gain reputation with different groups (hah, you know,
factions, go figure) throughout the Mud. Based on your Faction Level NPCs and Quests might behave 
differently and open more content thank what you would have access to before. Use the 'FACTIONS' 
command to see where you stand within the different factions in-game. You can raise your faction 
level by either completing certain quests or killing certain NPCs.



As with the Niflheim & Nikko expansions, please see Birthday 2019 Area Updates, append #1 regarding
