Invasion Tile: reverse #3 and #4 for dead hand cave.
Thank you SO much for actually numbering these and not just placing 20 dots on a map when I’ve already found most of them naturally and only need 3 or 4 per wall!!! I don’t wanna tread all over Thedas a second time to just to find out nothing I’m looking for is even an a certain area. Your detail and diligence has saved me so much time.
Invasion Tiles are the other way around, the first 5 are in Exalted Plains and the remaining 7 in Emerald Graves.
Thank you so much! This is much easier than going to each location to find out which one I missed!
