I really enjoyed this mission!
Finished it on Expert with about 3100 loot in a little over 1 hour.
In my opinion this mission's best features are:
- There is a lot to explore;
- Keyhunting and following hints scattered around felt rewarding and not at all tedious;
- I really liked the storytelling - nice readables;
- The mission has a nice environment. Also: great view of the city in the distance!
Some things I was wondering:
- There were no secrets (0 out of 0 found) in my playthrough. Was this an oversight? Because I did open up a secret passage here and there.
- The readables in the Splinter Tower said something about a Pagan infestation but I never found anything like that. Did I miss something?

Congrats 1600frogs. Always love to play a shiny new FM, so thank you. I look forward to downloading and taffing about in me sneaking clodhoppers when I get back home.

I can't seem to find the date I need to get the gift in the lady's tomb. Playing on Expert.

Marbrien, there are various readables in the buildings which contain information about the date. I think the close relatives and the husband of the lady wrote most of the documents. The majority of the readables do not give away the whole information, but if you find two or three, the date should be identifiable.
If you still can't find the readables, look in the old Clifford estate behind the main house, the bedrooms of the main mansion, and maybe even in the location known as the lady's retreat. I don't know whether all the readables are in the same place on Expert, but on easiest difficulty level, there should be at least one easy-to-find readable, in one of the locations I mentioned, which gives you (after just a bit of thinking about it) only three or four different combinations to try out.
I completed the mission some hours ago and will almost certainly play it again one day. Players might find one or two things for negative criticism, but I doubt there are many people who utterly dislike it. I consider it a well done mansion mission with a fair amount of secrets and mystery that will mostly be uncovered while advancing in the mission.
Mostly, yes. Still have to meet those frogs one day...:p

I found the frogs. Poor reception down there, they need a roof aerial. I still don't understand the function of the button on the rock though.
I thought the date instruction on the sign was ambiguous. "Graced this land" could mean the date she was born, the date she first came here from somewhere else, or even the date she first did something in this land that could be conceived of as an act of grace. In the end I fluked it. I thought I had the day part and just worked my way through the months.
If anyone else gets stuck on this objective and it's starting to annoy them, the date that worked for me (on Expert) was 1127.
It's a good mission overall. Thanks for letting us play!

In the room below the library, look for a key among the fallen books.
