Started this pack a few days ago, loving the narrative so far.
The reason for the bee trek was because one needs a Plains biome. And I try to give rewards to people who do it. Look for a chest around that island.
Sorry to revive a dead subject, but the Ritual of Gaia's Transformation can make you any biome you want, any shape or size you want, wherever you like. Could have saved the trek.
But thanks for the stone anyway.
