Corruption(Astrlas timore)

=Background=
----
"when the world was created a strange meteorite collided with the planet,and with it the corruption. for eons it has been underground gathering strength until recently it started to emerge from within the scarred wastelands.currently its growth has been strangely halted, however sights of corrupted mounds,relays, and hives are increasing potently signaling an awakening of the hoard." -the Eldritch lands by Dreamburner
Before the world was created an ancient god was slain and its heart collided with the developing planet,before it died it reached out to another god and asked it to revive the fallen god, in exchange it would help deal with a pest that has been bugging the other god for centuries.thus the corruption(scientific name Astralas Timore) was born,its sole goal is to consume the world and rebirth the fallen god,recently it has emerged and consumed several dragons and thousands of beastclan members.however after shade stopped helping the swarm(along side several strings of bad luck,losses to the shine army, not being able to find enough food to support itself, and stress on there queens) the corruption has fallen into a sort of 'decline' and is no longer spreading.however scouts from the shine army(and dreamburner) have come back with reports of new mounds of corruption forming in other parts of the world, twisted forests stretching several miles in length on completely separate continents, and an increase in activity of corrupted creatures.

==Biomes==
biomes within the corruption
===The Central Hive===
This towering monstrosities is the focal point of the corruption and is where cylo,ponyo and the queens resides when they are regenerating,morphing,feeding,commanding, or resting. it also releases a never ending stream of strange red gas out of the top
===The Crystalline Tower===
A huge floating crystalline tower hovering over a strange black pool of abyssal fluid at night and during strange weather phenomenons it can be seen glowing and abyssal fluid can be seen rising into the tower threw an opening on the bottom. this is where shade reside.
===Twisted Forest===
a landscape covered in dark red vines pulsing a strange yellow fluid though them,several twisted towers cover the landscape, according to dreamburner the land itself twists around anyone inside,charts of the area are always wrong,GPS refuse to load the landscape,and while travelers are only lost for a few minutes or hours, years can pass in the outside world. some ever report going back in time
===Cursed landscape===
an unfortunate result of the Mnemosyne incident, large batches of the corruption and outside wasteland have had there spiritual energy ripped out from the very terrain itself, combined with shades destructive battle tactics,ponyo and cylos lack of care for the destruction of the terrain, and the shear damage that the Sauvrift Void causes and you have a land that is completely uninhabitable to any dragon,the few people brave enough to set foot here tend to lose there soul and become cursed to.
==Strange Climate==
aside from the normal climate of the wastelands the corruption hosts a couple of new weather phenomenons.however most are caused by shade trying to deter people from entering
===Briar Storm===
Large jumbles of briarvines stretch out from the outskirts of the corruption and spiral above the crystalline tower.(which is now glowing with a faint hue of green)And pass threw a small ring at the top and thorns are launched into the air, during this point the thorn less brambles disassemble into thin strings that can ensnare anyone unprepared. billions of thorns fall down with the same density as heavy rain. and strange constructs known as briar weeds roam the land.dripping abyssal fluid, looking for anyone not part of the corruption to further cut and ensnare them.
===Venom and Bone rain===
the crystalline tower starts glowing red releasing green clouds that spread to every corner of the corruption while developing a bone like substance around it.when the tower is completely covered in bone it starts cracking and eventually explode into a storm of bones similar to the briar storm's thorn rain.Simultaneously green liquid begins raining from the sky, while this liquid is harmless on its own but if it touches any open wound the victim will experience rashes, cysts,drowsiness, eventual paralysis and begin leaking blood from literally every hole in there body in there body.the bone shrapnel ,while much less dense than the briar storm, the bone shrapnel is covers in the same venom that rains down and will cut anyone in the open that is unprepared
===Cursed winds===
During this time, the soulless curse begins spreading threw the air, still trying to take down the corruption.everyone in the corruption will move out to stop any invading soulless before they enter the corruption,including shade.this causes the crystalline tower to fall into the abyssal fluid during this time and anyone in the corruption will start felling like breathing is taking something from them.there scales will start to turn pale and feel increasingly dry, fur will start falling out,green cracks will start forming over there body. until there soul is completely gone and there consumed by the curse.the only way to survive this is to leave the corruption,get underground, or go 12 miles into the air. according to dreamburner "you will know when it is safe to continue traveling when the abhorrent tower floats once again"
