*Not quite recent news, but still informative.
Thank you for reading this news batch and I hope you enjoyed it. Let us know if you have any suggestions for the news batches!
Also note that Terrain/Skin/Spell spotlights were removed from this batch because there wasn't enough good material to use, but hopefully February will feature some new stuff!
