Withered area in Yew

Hail all,

Wyspr was wandering through the Yew area this morning with Grapple, his purple Great, and found an area where the foliage was withered and dead. Even an enormous, vital Yew tree stood naked without its usual foliage. At least I think that was the case and it wasn't just a problem with transparency.

I noted the coords down for later investigation but I was reminded of a note of the Prophet's that mentioned something about Yew being the new homeland or something. hmmm

That area has been there for quite a while. It occasionally spawns low-level mobs, like skellys and headless ones.

Ok, thanks, it was just disturbing to see amidst all the other foliage.

I would think they are remnants of the Blight, are they not? From what I've read, a Druid needs to get to the afflicted area, and speak "Nigh Tir", or "Love the Trees" (or something like that - it is Druidism, after all. Hippies.) with a Druid staff in hand.

Then again, it could be something completely different. But it wouldn't surprise me if the Druids were lax in their practices. A number of established druids inform me that newer Druids do not even go through their own initiation process of creating runes and staves.

Rather sad really, for as much as I care for the aesthetics of Druidic Practices.

No, the corruption is clear there, must be something else.
