Darkspawninfested

Darkspawn infested refers to areas, creatures, or objects that have been corrupted and overrun by the Darkspawn, a monstrous race originating from the Fade. These infestations are characterized by the presence of Darkspawn creatures, their foul influence, and often a physical transformation of the environment.

Infestation can manifest in various ways. A region might be overrun, with Darkspawn establishing lairs, spreading their corrupting taint, and driving out or consuming the native inhabitants. This can turn once-peaceful lands into dangerous territories filled with monsters and unnatural blight. Creatures can also be infested, becoming twisted versions of their former selves, driven by the Darkspawn's primal urges and often possessing enhanced aggression and resilience. This can occur through direct exposure to Darkspawn or their taint.

The taint, a magical corruption associated with the Darkspawn, is a key component of these infestations. It can seep into the land, water, and even living beings, gradually warping them. Signs of darkspawn infestation often include the appearance of grotesque fungi, the discoloration and decay of natural elements, and a palpable sense of dread or unease. The presence of Darkspawn themselves, from lesser horde creatures to more powerful broodmothers and architects, is the most definitive indicator. These infested areas are typically considered dangerous and are often the target of efforts to cleanse or reclaim them.
