---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AREA UPDATES

- Minor updates to the following areas: aztecs, malta, dartmoor, salem

- Permanent lights have received a major spec change and some have 
  been updated either in terms of what they do or the rent that 
  they are. We are not, currently, templating these. You will have to 
  acquire another, but we've also changed some of the quests to allow
  that. More to come in the next update.

- There's a new bag in one of the updated areas that can contain only 
  specific types of items (in this case, potions, scrolls and powders). 
  It can only contain 5 of said items, but all of the items inside do 
  not count toward rent, allowing you, essentially to carry around 5 
  consumables for free. If the bag is in a house, it will calculate 
  cost as normal. This bag also happens to soulbound and you may have 
  one on our person at a time.
