Still a little baffled that they released the Hew's Bane furnishing bundle while Erstwhile Sanctuary was on sale. Are they going to release a spooky assassin furnishing bundle when Princely Dawnlight goes on sale to complete their puzzling symmetry?

Its kind of clever for a marketing strategy standpoint.
A player thinks "I definitely want the Palace, so I'm going to grab the furnishing pack now!"
Then the Palace comes out and the player might be like "Wow, that's a really steep price...but I already bought the furnishings that'd look sweet, so if I don't want to waste them, I'd better get it."
Effectively it breaks it into 2 large transactions instead of slamming the player with sticker shock at the cost of buying a hone AND furnishing it with a pack or two.
