Move the 'Ebony Barracks' waypoint to a place behind Gravicius

This is a suggestion for a change that's pretty insignificant, but (imho) would improve the 'Ebony Barracks' area especially for new and inexperienced players.

Prior to v2.0.0, the area worked like this: You went to the 'Warehouse Sewers' waypoint, removed the Undying Blockade, fought your way through another sewer area (which didn't have a waypoint), and arrived at the Ebony Barracks. There you found a waypoint near the entrance, which made sense, since you were just coming from an area without one.

v2.0.0 removed the sewers area, so now you go to the 'Warehouse Sewers' waypoint, go directly to the 'Ebony Barracks' after removing the Blockage, and immediately see another waypoint.

That's not really a problem because while the waypoint may be superfluous now, it doesn't do any harm either. But I think that it would make sense, now that we have the opportunity, to move that waypoint further up.

Players have to fight Gravicius, and then go through the entire Lunaris Temple level 1 including Fleshrend and Kole, before they see the next waypoint. For us experienced players this may not look like an issue, but I think for new players who are just learning the ropes, this may be a bit much. Especially if they can't make it in one session, and find out that they have to fight Gravicius again in the next one.

I therefore suggest to move the waypoint behind Gravicius, next to the entrance to the Lunaris temple. This would allow for a smoother progression through this area imho. The 'Imperial Gardens' would still be accessible quickly from the 'Warehouse Sewers' waypoint.

Again, I don't think this is extremely important. But it might be something that can improve the experience for new players in that area with relatively little development effort.

Here's what I would have done:
- Current Marketplace and Marketplace Sewers zones removed completely; Warehouse District connects to Battlefront
- Sewer Waterways returns, a sewer zone between Warehouse Sewers and Ebony Barracks
- Catacombs now connects to Warehouse District
- Decanter Spiritus now found in Catacombs
- Third bust now found in Sewer Waterways
- Marceus the Defaced relocated to "ribbon half" of Battlefront
- City of Sarn renamed to Outskirts (unrelated but always bothered me)

This does delay competition of the three busts quest slightly.

Honestly, I'd rather see the Sewer Waterways come back. It added to the feel of the narrative by having it as a segue to the Barracks.

My 2 cents.

Hi

I really wish they would put some treasure back or side quest in for the catacombs, it feels like no one ever goes in there since they removed the treasure chest; and have no side quest...
