Some rumors have recently shaken the foundations of every human realm on Dwilight who heard of this "beast". To clarify one thing; Unterstrom Bane is not a single monster or some monster specie and it is not yet confirmed. Unterstrom Bane is a swarm of monsters whose numbers go higher than 100 (all in one group); some say a lot higher, and has a total strength somewhere between 8000-9000 of combat strike. It can be said that this swarm probably has some leader who is more intelligent than the rest of the pack, but informations are quite obscure. It probably composes of all sorts of creatures; from dragons to hydras - everything that fits under description "monster".


There are two theories how such a large swarm can grow. The evolution theory and some war scholars who are studying this unique monsters in Dwilight that are so different than their kin on other continents, are claiming that the longer the beasts live the better they become, which is a natural process, and monsters are a part of the nature no matter how unlogical it seems. If they are free to kill and burn on their own for a long period they start "ganging" with other groups and with time become an ultimate death machine. They say that Unterstrom Bane is a product of such activities; one can only imagine what kind of "beast" has grown in the far West, where civilization hasn't entered yet. War scholars also say that the best way to fight this superior monsters is to kill them in their infancy when they still are weak. Elimination of these groups one by one is the answer, they say.


The other theory is the one of myth and legends, and it tells a story long ago when Morekian flags were wavering from the high towers of Unterstrom. In a certain moment in time, the death of a hero named Armand Vici spilled deep forests of that land. His fall was heroic, they say, as he was defending with his last breath some of the high nobility of Morek, who are still present to tell the tale. Peasants, terrified by daily monster invasions started to spread urban legends that the spirit of Armand Vici is roaming through that land - supposedly giving strength and the much needed intelligence for the beasts to gather as one.
