Blamag Magic School, Enchanted Valley | 13th of Bloodthistle, Year 24 A.P.R. (After Prism Restoration)
A cataclysmic botanical anomaly has erupted in the Festering Abyss, a demonic stronghold 800 leagues northwest of Blamag’s wards. Dubbed the “Doomroot” by terrified scout-mages, this obsidian-scaled tree sprouted overnight from the calcified heart of Kyr’thazax, a slain Archdevil whose corpse has fueled demonic rituals since the War of Sundered Realms (3-12 A.P.R.). The tree’s growth rate defies all known laws—already towering at 3 miles tall, its roots are burrowing into interdimensional ley nodes.
Doomroot’s Documented Threats
- Reality Parasitism: Its roots drain magic from parallel worlds, causing localized collapses; the Feywilds have reported 47 “wilted zones” where sunlight now drips like tar.
- Plague Bloom: Pollen clouds emit soulblight, a disease that crystallizes victims’ memories into brittle shards. Demon legions are reportedly immune but using infected prisoners as living bombs.
- Infernal Nexus: The tree’s crown houses a pulsating Hellfruit, believed to be a gestation pod for a new Archdevil capable of uniting fractured demon clans.
Blamag’s Head of Abyssal Botany, Dr. Voryn Blackspire, stated: “This isn’t natural evolution—it’s a bioweapon. The Doomroot’s DNA contains traces of celestial blood, suggesting rogue angels colluded with Hell’s botanists. Water it with holy water, and it’ll probably explode. Or apologize.”
The school’s Celestial Vanguard Brigade has mobilized, but neutralizing the tree requires breaching 9 layers of demonic defenses. Meanwhile, the Atonement Prism flickered ominously at dawn—a sign its reality-stabilizing powers are being drained.
WARNING: Independent mercenary groups are advised to avoid “Doomroot expeditions.” A dwarven mining guild’s attempt to harvest its bark yesterday triggered a Cursed Miasma that turned their airships into screaming gargoyles.
