TRAVEL WARNING: Adventurers are advised to take care when travelling north near Urskaya.

Recently, a calamitous event in Urskaya caused a strange corruption to spread through the local Urska population. The exact cause seems to trace back to something involving a traveller and a failed divination attempt that caught the attention of an Ancient Daemon Lord. While the spread of the corruption seems to have been halted, it has still left its mark upon a number of the infected, as purple crystals seem to sprout from under their skin, leaving them prone to sudden intense fits of murderous rage.

TL;DR: Watch out for shiny purple murder-bears.
