Sonnstill, or Sun Still is the common name for the Summer Solstice, so named because the sun seems to sit still on the horizon on this, the longest day of the year. It is an important date for farmers, sailors, wizards, and pilgrims; in short, for anyone dependent on the cycles of the sun and those keeping track of the remaining days of the year.
Fertility rites are extremely common on this day, with young couples adorning themselves with flowers in their hair and dancing and drinking to songs dedicated to Taal and Rhya. The mysterious Elves are sometimes seen giving thanks and honour to their own Gods on this day. Children born on Sonnstill are considered blessed and are thought to become bright, energetic adults destined for great things.

Bug Fixes and Minor Tweaks
Weâve made changes to the game sounds which should make it easier to pick out the sounds of Specials - so now that Packmaster wonât be quite as sneaky, as he hides in a horde of lesser Skaven.
Fixed an issue where Bardinâs ears would clip through his hats Kladkap and Gorusklad.
Fixed an issue with the Charm Trait âConcoctionâ, where clients would not get all potion effects while using this trait.
Big + for placing the hero-selection close to the spawnpoint, but couldnât you place a little Taal figurine where it was before? Would really fit the whole Taalâs Horn Keep theme.
Edit: There are some weird wooden beams in front of the reinforced door behind the training dummy area, under the tower, which havenât been there before. Intentional or not?
2nd Edit: Finally you added a new, (yet unreachable) area in the Keep, was about time!
There are 5 - iâll just call them cooking pots, donât know what they are - 4 on the âfloorâ and 1 elevated, so i guess for our Ubersreik 5 (or 4, it⌠etc etc etc). So no new hero, i would guess. And the carpet might tell you smth, its in black and gold, with cross and sun symbols (Myrmidia? Southern Realms?). It might just be a new mechanic.
I dunno if theyâre cooking pots, theyâre part of the pillars holding up the roof. Look at the steel beam inside them and it connects up to the pillar above them. There is one that looks different and doesnât seem to have the beam inside it though.
Maybe it is a kitchen/cooking room? Just thought it was weird that there was a wanted poster next to the door and another note. I canât make out the sigil on the wanted poster tho.
Yea, I see the carpet, dark blue with gold symbols around the sides. And thereâs red banners in the back as well.
In case you werenât aware, Blightstormers and their storms are now completely silent. Could do with a hotfix. Well done on the other specialsâ sounds, though.
So the big reward for doing 10 missions on legend is an emperorâs vault, wow, is that it⌠I regularly get 3 blues out of these. Thatâs some pretty pathetic incentive right there.
When are we going to start getting guaranteed red rewards like the much better implemented mission board of vermintide 1?
