Horizons


Seems like environmental problems stemming from pollution aren't unique to the "real" world. Even as corporate industrialists and developers foul the ecosystems and desertification expands on planet Earth, the Withered Aegis of Istaria are killing off the wetlands south of Harro, expanding the Deadlands as their fort construction wreaks havoc with the delicate ecology of the Spiritous Swamp.

Unlike most creatures on Earth, however, their counterparts in the world of Tulga Games' Horizons appear to be fighting back as the native bloodsnout gruok and purple spiders start exhibiting atypically aggressive behaviors. According to NNRI associate researcher Saja, this new, aggressive behavior is a response to the spreading Blight:

“.. the common bloodsnout [and] purple spiders normally leave you alone unless you are a threat to their hatchlings...the constant lightning and gloom of a Blight Maelstrom is a radical change from the normal swamp environs. It must be terribly frightening for the poor creatures. They can’t express what they’re feeling in words, so they express it in actions. They don’t really mean to be vicious; they just want someone to know they’re hurt and scared.”

Istarian war correspondents report that Blight Blooms are popping up south of the Sandstone Quarry. There's a lot of the Undead running around, so travelers in that area should exercise caution.
