Blightlands

The Blightlands are an area of the central and western Northern Headlands that was submerged in the Forsaken poison known as the Blight during their initial invasion so as to prevent Gilnean attacks. The region is wrought with peril, the poison having seeped into the land and tainted the plantlife and animals of the region into the point where they are twisted and vile. The air burns with poison, requiring precaution when journeying into some regions of the area; while others the inhabitants of the area prior to its destruction still wander; insane and corrupt from the Forsaken's tampering. The Blightlands extend into the Northgate, though not as extensively.
