Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 182167" data-attributes="member: 2020">Those looking down on Oerth from Wildspace see a great area of shining blue light where the Kevellond League is.  Through that blue light, as through a heavy haze, they see a brilliantly lit, brilliantly green and blue land, it's waters throwing back reflected sunlight in golden glory.  However, they can only see it - they cannot reach it, cannot touch it, cannot come to it.  Those looking at Oerth from the Ethereal or Astral Plane see a shining light, brilliant as a blue star, totally impregnable, shooting forth from the greater white brightness of the world of Oerth.  Those in the Underdark walking upward through tunnels or caves perceive only a gradual increasing of the blue mist, until it becomes too thick to see through at all.  At that point, if they try to move any further upward - to within 10 miles of the surface - they come to a place where there is no rock, only blue mist, and they are forced to turn back.  For those that somehow continue forward, perhaps by flying into the mist, they find themselves almost instantaneously arriving on the surface, just outside the area of blue mist.  The effects of the Four Touches are instantly removed from the Kevellond League.  Furthermore, the lands immediately around the Kevellond League - the Denzac Gulf, Hellfurnaces, Crystalmists, Baklunish Confederation, most of the Coalition of Light and Shadow, much of the Empire of Iuz, all of the Domain of Greyhawk, part of the western Union of Oerth, the whole of the Lortmils and Kron Hills, the whole of the Pomarj, all of the  Kingdom of Ulek ... also see the Four Touches reversed.  The touch of the blue mist has a healing effect on everything it touches.  Water that is poisoned and black becomes less so.  The air is less contaminated and less dark, easier to breathe.  The soil is less brittle under foot, less buried under ash.  The surviving trees and brush are less greyish, less withered.  Those effects are immediate, but greater effects will occur with time.  Given time, the waters in these areas will flow clearly again, the sky will be free of smoke and dust, the ground will once more thrive with life, the trees and brush will be green again, and perhaps, people might one day return to many regions that are now desolate and filled with ruins.</blockquote>
