The further one ventures from Boston, the more untamed the wilderness; mountains spring forth, water pools in great lakes, and forests sprawl miles wide. Eventually light itself is quelled by the lack of civilization, and the land becomes gloomy. In this land man's presence is despised by nature itself, and she moves to snuff him.
Humour drain
Far from Boston, light levels begin to drop. Venture far enough into the darkness and humours will begin to drain. A pilgrim with stats of 25/35/34/29 will see the drain in their blood humour first, and closer to Boston. The weakest of explorers will see drain in areas with only a visible gloominess. The further into the Darkness this character moves, the more extreme the humour drain, and the higher their humour cap will have to be to resist it. The factors that affect this drain are:
|
This is most easily measured by thickness of the darkness |
|
Humor drain begins immediately on entering darkness, but a higher humor level does allow less chance of darkness KO. |
|
If the healing rate of food eaten exceeds the drain of the darkness, the result will be a net gain. |
|
Light sources have no effect on darkness drain |
|
Being inside a house or mine has no effect on darkness drain. |
|
Churches counteract the Darkness by creating a radius of civilization approximately 400 tiles in every direction. |
Twilight
Between darkness and light, there is a middle ground called 'Twilight' inhabited by witches and pilgrims alike where the drains are not as severe but do occur for the both of them.
Rats make their habitat here frequently, chances of Rabbits turning to March Hares are slightly increased with Quetzalcoatls seen to spawn at rare cases in Badlands. Should a pilgrim have the dare to live there, he shall do so with walls built around him as a source of safety from what lurks outside.
