If one were to explore the vast plague lands of the recent Orcish curse, one may find it littered with a number of corroded corpses and trees. Indeed, the carnivorous fungi that inhabit the land has a large part to play in this. However, for those that walk upon the tainted earth, a more immediate threat poses itself as the looming clouds paint a red canvass across the dark sky.

 

Deep within the bubbling cesspools that dot across the land, a resilient and vile weed sprouts from the earth. It seeps into the water, drawing in nutrients and replacing it with a sinister waste product. The once calm waters begin to writhe and froth as an acidic discharge seeps from the plants into the ponds.

 

Physical Properties:

These weeds are of a dark red colouration, and grow in patterns of chaotic spirals. Small thorns protrude from them that draw in the nutrients from the water, while the base of the weed produces small roots that sprout from the earth it is embedded in, and leak the corrosive waste into the water.

 

It is virtually impossible to examine these plants as per the environment they are contained in. If one were foolish enough, one may be able to sacrifice an arm in the name of knowledge and progress.

Due to the mass of the plague and the large bodies of water that spread through them, these cesspools can give rise to an incredibly dangerous weather effect.

 

It is referred to by the Shamans as "Tharb Nûtniin", which translates to "Acid Rain" in common. When this corrosive water falls upon the earth, it quickly consumes the flesh of those it comes into contact with. If you are unfortunate enough to be stuck beneath these clouds as they break, you will suffer a most painful death.

 

This acidic element causes further decay upon the spreading disease that inhabits the land, creating an inner conflict between the two aspects of decay the Immortal Spirit, Orgon, has influence over.

I'll support anything that adds an extra layer to the somewhat two dimensional entity, that is the plaguelands. That is not to say, fun role-play doesn't come from it already when pushed through but, an extra layer to it would be good.

This lore has been Accepted.

 

This lore seems swell, and breathes a bit more life (well, death, I suppose) into the current plague.

 

Thank you for your submission!
