The rooms in Emond's Field zone that used to contain the Westwood and Quarry Road have been turned into what will be the western part of Emond's Field. This part will essentially attach to North Road and Old Road, and be jammed in between the current Quarry Road - Wagon Bridge connection. I might snip a few rooms off the eastern side of the Quarry Road to see if I can retain the old spams.
The room building has been completed, now is the time to populate the zone with mobs. Since a few rooms of what currently is Emond's Field will be attached to western Emond's Field, I will be yoinking these and attaching them to the new area. E.g. Daise Congar's house etc. I will not currently move amenities such as Haral, pracs and master blacksmith, but just a few of the other homes.
Then I will populate the zone and hopefully open it some time this weekend.
Then part 3 will be attaching the Winespring Inn in the right places, adding gates, moving the Red Eagle rent/ chest into Emond's Field and changing the descriptions of what are now North Road and Old Road and changing them to reflect that they are now in a village.
Since there's a few rooms spare, I will likely be adding the Sick House somewhere, on the Waterwood side iirc. I intend to move Kerrigan's Emond's Field load there.

Word of warning, I'm going to take the newly built western Emond's Field and attach it to the game proper. This may lead to wonky things in the next few hours.

The layout is complete.
Gates are in.
Shops and homes have been moved to their new locations.
Mobs have been scattered around.
Some room names have been changed as preliminary work for the descs rewrite.
The worst of it is over. :)

All descriptions have been written, as well as a new map at the well.
I'm sure there's a few more things to tinker with and change, but the basics are finished. Map away!
EDIT: and Kerrigan's Emond's Field load has been moved to the Sick House outside the village.
