#leading to all variety of poisons and medicines and hallucinogens and Spicy.

[1ore]

im not very far in so stop me if this is a premature take, but i think it's fun that an unintentional(?) consequence of mordremoth being eeeeeevil nature is that its "greening" of the desert is framed as unambiguously bad. The high fantasy desert fever dream / "inhospitable wasteland"? Defended to the death against an encroaching forest? disorienting. i feel like im on the other side of the great green wall. "mainstream fantasy game accidentally stumbles towards thoughtful take on desert ecology" was not on my bingo board. now we just need to take all of the sand out of maguuma

#guild wars 2 tag #in other news im also rotating mordremoth and its domain over plants and the mind #something something plants as the first chemists had to create a variety of phytochemical defenses against Being Eaten #leading to all variety of poisons and medicines and hallucinogens and Spicy. #modern medicine still stands on the shoulders of giants #again. probably not intentional. but i do all my own work over here filling in the blanks.
