Spider Curses

In 1770 AC, a human Warlord of the Freelanders of the North called Areyo Erbeth sends a portion of his army to conquer the mysterious lands of the south that are called Arcanara. The soldiers get buried in huge warrens beneath the earth, never to return to the surface. Days later, a huge swarm of spiders appears before the gates of Felenos, rumored to be the soldiers that were sent south, transformed by a terrible curse inflicted by the elves of Arcanara.
