The Blight
The End Times
What is the Blight? That was what everyone in Rheanor wondered as it slowly devoured their homes, loved ones and finally their own lives. It is a corruption that no one could ever understand. It changed physiques, minds and perhaps even the soul of whatever and whoever it touched.
It originated in the east of
Rheanor and spread across the entire continent. Everything it touched was twisted and changed into its image. It created corrupted versions of everything it met. Trees grew flesh, rivers became poisoned, and people became monsters. Many tried to fight but they all met their untimely end. Those less fortunate became puppets of the blight.
Most terribly of all, some went willingly to the Blight. For their service, they were granted terrible powers. They were known as Blight mages. They murdered their fellow men just for more power. Most horrible of all, one of the greatest Blight mages destroyed all of Lumal, one of the greatest cities on the continent with a ritual. Sacrificing the city and all those who still remained there to their master.
Most horrible of all were the rare sightings of great and powerful beings. Seemingly fully embraced by the Blight, perhaps now just an extension of its very will. These beings were far closer to the gods themselves rather than mere mortals.
