Description
Throughout the borders of certain civilizations, there lies a phenomenon yet to be explained. The Blight is an mysterious and invisible force that emerges, seemingly without warning, to sap the life it touches. Moving as a silent harbinger of decay, the Blight leaves a trail of withered landscapes and barren wastelands in its path. The Blight's nature lies in its ability to erode the life it touches.
Effects
As it spreads, plant life withers, and animals that stay in Blight-infested areas experience a gradual decline in health, succumbing to the slow and relentless decay. The Blight seems to show no favoritism, affecting all living things. People venturing into the Blight's presence find themselves having to overcome their weakness. The air itself seems to drain the energy and strength of those unfortunate enough to be near. Even the hardiest individuals may feel their resilience slowly wane when exposed to the Blight's oppressive touch.
In severe cases, prolonged exposure to the Blight can prove fatal. Those unable to escape its clutches may experience weakness and fatigue. The Blight offers little mercy. As of now, there has been no sufficient solution to address its effects.
Origin and Theories
The origin of the Blight remains a mystery. Its appearance seems unpredictable, and its nature challenges even the most established scholars. Some suggest that Blight originates from the oceans, due to its prevailing occurrence from coastlines, moving inland. Other suggest that Blight is a remnant of Shadow Spirits that continue to cling onto the world, despite the awakening of Paradise.
The current prevailing theory behind its behaviors suggests that the Blight may draw upon Aether, the invisible particles present in all living things. It essentially drains the essence of life from living things, leaving behind nothing but the shell of what used to be. It is attracted to life itself, feeding on it.
