The Blightbringer's Wrath

We've struck his name from all records, familial and governmental.   His madness nearly meant the end of us and our people. We cannot speak his name without great shame. So we strike him from memory, His final defeat did not happen at [lake], but in the few documents we could carry out with us. Only an ephitet remains, a ghost to haunt the waters of Tonanepalt.   Blightbringer.  

— ~An Elder of the Tlecti

 

Prelude

  Tlanexti Valley was under seige. Not by men or by machine, but by a plague of [insects]. It's suspected that they originated from further west, riding in a container of fruit bound for Shimshar. Without a natural predator, they soon exploded in population and began to ravage the crops. Entire fields began to fail as the [insects] ate their way across the valley. The farmers soon became desperate.   The leader of the Tlecti, [name redacted], began to personally look into solutions to fight the insect horde that had descended on his lands and ravage the crops. He found an answer in an unexpected place; a Memoria storage facility hidden in the Begoria Mountains. Within, along with several functional Mechanicals and other Memoric wonders, he found a potent mixture that was designed to kill insects.   The Tlecti came to call it Xocoakti; Poison Water. It was soon their most potent weapon against the plague.
