You all noticed the slow. The game has now been sped up over 100%

As a result I disabled Aleuran trait succession for now. It needs some time to cook

Can no longer Entrance someone who has already been Entranced
added explanation to the entranced trait on how to level it

The squeaky wheels among you finally made enough noise for me to fix the level 4 genetic trait bug!

Fixed bug where on Ascension old Elves would be turned old looking

Inversely I fixed a bug where some starter Elf Characters on the map would look like babies forever

Finally I spent a TON of time refactoring the Elf trait files. They are so clean now and will be so much more maintainable going forward. Also we shouldn't see any more bugs where the children's version (age < 20) of elf traits have different stats then the adult version.
During this process I did tinker with the traits slightly, lower elf traits have a greater fertility penalty for example.

yet another hotfix

MORE patch cleanup

New event that allows player to move portal pieces to their capital so they can restore the Grand Portal there.

Restore The Portal Event got a minor facelift

## Traditions

### NEW! Blessing: Endless Lord
- First born child born is an exact genetic copy of their parent lord.

## Ascension

### The Remainder of the Elf traits have been added to the game bringing the total levels of Ascension to 12!
- Players can not Ascend past High Elf until after the portal has been opened.

### Elf Traits
- Now give Elves huge fertility penalties that increase in severity as you Ascend.
- added a yearly check to make sure elves are at least having some kids
- Now give no prowess loss from age
- Did a fundamental re-work of how Elf traits work
- Now instead of using the "life expectancy stat", Elf traits grant "immortality".
- Children start with an elf trait version that has no immortality and have it swapped to an immortality version at age 20
- When an Elf has reached an age when they should start to be able to die, the traits are swapped back and they are again given a version of their elf trait without immortality
- Throughout their lifespan, at an appropriate age, their visual immortality age will be increased
- As a result now attraction will not be loss from age until an appropriate age
- The higher Elf trait levels stay young looking forever
