TEW - Other Places - Wildsbane

A strangely shaped bone that fell from the sky, slowly causes all growth around it to cease and eventually die. It’s strange properties were crucial in The Defense of Aes Kalon. Since its arrival, the Wildsbane has become a treasure throughout the land. Many revere it, others covet it, even others want to incorporate it into new Manatech... or more appropriately, Anti-Manatech. The Wildsbane’s powers have also brought upon the idea - the hope, to some - that all of the world’s remaining civilization can be united against the threat of the Wilds. Many of the elders of the city have brought upon the idea of United Front against the Wilds. There is the problem of the individuality of the cities it wishes to bring together. As if the cities, nations, and kingdoms of old were distinct from another culturally before, a generation of isolation between the vast Wilds made them even more distinct and ferociously independent than before. Bringing them together under the fight for the Wilds may be possible, but to keep them there... the difficulty will be immense.

Some theorize that the Wildsbane is one of the fragments from the Jaws of the Dead upon its creation during the Great Bloom, its deadening effects thwarting the Wilds upon its arrival to Aes Kalon.
