Nabucodonosor
Squire
It's humorous what gets our attention. Not quests, etc but a change in the city map.
I find it only natural -- as opposed to the unhealthy habit, not trusting ones own senses or, more importantly even, the common sense and writing stuff like that off as coincidence.
Because we have seen this before with the arctic harbour adding the fact hat no space on the city map is *that* clean unless bought and paid for as city buolding ground, I think: this is as close we are going to get to absolute certainty that this space is cleaned up for some specific use in the very near future.
As the newly cleared space is not directly connected to the tavern grounds and the new Era is about to be announced, I reckon -- and hope against the odds that AlienWalker's disclosure of an in-game advertising reward system is a hoax, this has something to do with the new Era, maybe a spaceport -- or maybe a borehole to the deep underground, perhaps hollow earth following up the line of the OF of going deeper and deeper.
