[h1]Revelry & Respite - Overview[/h1] Welcome, Scribes! [b]Chapter III: Revelry & Respite[/b] is a big step for [i]Vellum[/i], bringing [b]Vignettes[/b], rotating [b]Quests[/b], a new [b]Tome[/b], and new [b]Bonus Objectives[/b]. This also marks our [b]sixth update[/b] since launching in Early Access! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44711349/ddbcd5ff643f9b4356b06ea72984de42d99802a5.png[/img] This Chapter paves the way for more unique encounters, rewards, activities, and richer experiences as you mend the Tomes of the Illuminated Library! [h2]Vignettes - Revel, Rest, and Ready Yourselves![/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44711349/96900e6be69306846f7ff8cbbdc597398f716238.jpg[/img] Vignettes are immersive pocket experiences interspersed within Tomes. These are not new battlefields for us Scribes, but brief windows - opportunities to enjoy and understand what we're fighting for! Each Vignette has its own thematic activity or choice to engage with - be it a platforming puzzle, scavenger hunt, or some other mysterious feature! They also may reward Pages of Power that are your choice to take or leave behind. These reprieves from the battle against the Torn appear three times in the course of a standard Tome (and once before the boss in each Appendix). With the length and pacing of Vignettes, Tomes will feel like a more dynamic adventure with reinvigorating detours along the way - all while keeping games quick!

[i]Vellum[/i]'s newest Tome brings a rhythm-based mechanic to rehearse, master, and evolve! Unlock this new Tome on the third shelf by mending [i]On the Nature of Seasons[/i] at any Binding level. From the start, casting your movement spell at the correct moment (in line with the game's music) grants [b]Sync[/b]: a movement speed buff! Using the power of The Font, Scribes will be able to gain Sync in new ways - and with monumental new effects!
