1.4

This release serves two main purposes:

1. Speeding up the first hour or so of gameplay by providing players with a full stack of both tonics and elixirs and an initial amount of experience and iron bits to be spent on a full set of magical gear and components. While the overall pacing of the mod is decent, the initial runs into the Shattered Realm felt somewhat like a chore without much strategy to it - this should shorten the 'warm up" period.
2. Removing some of the jank from the mod's very first release, including the recommendation to clear the Burial Cave and the need to re-enter the game to spawn the Emissary. These were considered "good enough" trade-offs to get the mod working at first but felt more and more amateur as time went on and solutions became more apparent. With this release, players can just dive straight into their first Shattered Realm run if they want to, much more seamlessly.

1.3 had dropped the need for Waystones by having every shard unlocked by default. While Waystones are still no longer needed, the progression of unlocking shards has been mostly reverted back to vanilla as it turned out not to make much sense progression-wise within a run (especially in hardcore). Mazaan's dialogue tree has also been reorganized to feel more natural and intuitive for players.

Since Waystones are no longer required, Eldritch Essences rewarded by Shattered Realm quests were replaced with iron bits that can be spent or exchanged for Iron Bars and stashed as a form of meta-progression. Essences needed for other uses can still spawn as normal elsewhere.
