Patch Notes for Contaminated Prince
The naming culture for Demonic Cities has been altered to fit the pre-existing lore more accurately.
The lore involving the history of Joaalu before it’s removal from the physical realm and relocation into the Void has been updated to be more in depth.
The naming system for Joaalu citizens has been simplified, but none of the first names for any character is being changed.
Family names are being added instead of switching between guardian middle names and first names over and over again
Primary guardian middle names are still traditionally given to the first child
Primary guardian parent middle names will be given to subsequent children
Secondary guardian first names are still traditionally given as middle names.
Secondary guardian parent first names will be given to subsequent children.
Family names are being added for convenience of in world Census collection and ease of clan identification.
Names can still be backlisted on family registries, preventing reuse in a later generation.
More cities have been added for the sake of the economy making more sense.
The country of Joaalu has increased in size to accommodate these changes.
Three cities that were floating islands have been relegated to ground level to reflect biome changes.
Weather is being added; more than the two modes that existed previously.
The original placement of Joaalu prior to it’s existence in the Void has been finalized, and as a result the temperatures are a bit colder. This will be reflected in the day to day life of the residents in story.
There will now by sunrises and sunsets, the means of which have already been determined and are just being finalized to ensure it complies with the updated magic system, god lore, and historical lore.
The magic system in use in the story is being patched to cover plot holes and inconsistencies.
Personal concerns from the writer and editor regarding demons being too overpowered is being addressed and they are being nerfed.
This will be handled in such a way that they are still terrifying for anyone who cannot use Ambient magic to face, but so that they still have a chance at fighting back.
More name-worthy characters are being added to enrich the world.
Going forward, more and more characters will only look minimally human, eventually evening out into a 50/50 mix of humanoid vs non-humanoid.
Existing mythological creatures will be incorporated beyond humanoid ones.
Some already named characters that were not introduced or did not have much screen time are being recycled or erased from the plot.
Please be assured that their existence in the story, if they are erased from the plot, is still there; they are merely no longer relevant for the storyline being read.
If a character is recycled, they keep the name and personality, but may change species, age, or occupation.
The lore behind the gods is being fine tuned to better flow with the plot, and add more intrigue.
Demons now have two patron gods
This opens an entirely new branch of magic for the priests of Joaalu.
As such, priest ranks are being reworked to accommodate for this.
A backlog of work is being created for the sake stress free and regular updates once a week.
A Patreon is being worked on with three Tiers, each has additional perks.
Tier 1 is a chapter a week early and holiday oneshots.

Tier 3 will automatically have 12 backlogged chapters for review, tier 2 will automatically have four backlogged chapters for review, and tier 1 will automatically have one early chapter for review.
The chapters will remain between 6000 to 9000 words each, to grant more leniency when creating them.
