LORE

**Blightfen Warden’s Warning, Seventh Marker** “If Frufflekins begins following you, do not attempt to drive it away. Check your companions instead. The great hound appears whenever poisonous spores gather around someone too weak, wounded, or unaware to survive them. Its dense ruff draws the corruption into itself, only to cast the venom back toward its source. I once watched a fen-stalker spit enough poison to fell a marsh giant. Frufflekins merely shook its coat. The beast collapsed before the hound took another step. Do not mistake its protection for obedience. Frufflekins chooses whom it guards, and no bribe, command, or forged chain has ever changed its mind. Those it accepts have crossed Blightfen beneath its watchful eyes, guided by a howl that scatters predators and leaves even the strongest creatures trembling and poisoned. Those it rejects are seldom found. Listen carefully when the air turns green. If you hear the hound beside you, continue forward. If you hear it behind you, pray that it is not hunting.” Warden Elsik, final instructions for crossing the Blightfen
