Varan Cohorts Encampment
Upon learning of the threat that Andraste posed, but not wanting to retreat from the Land Tiller's Expanse, the Varan Cohorts hastily constructed this fortified encampment. If Andraste Ruana continued her advance into the Expanse she would come upon this camp. The camp was built in the middle of an open grassland. Forests run along the north and south, although if an army approach from either direction the camp’s occupants would see them clearly before they made their approach. A palisade wall surrounds part of the camp, with the unfinished sections blocked off by wagons (like a wagon fort). It appears only a few sentries stand guard, yet they do not move and look almost unnatural. A few fires burn within, but give off little smoke. The overall noise is negligible, as if the camp has been abandoned. The Varan Cohorts |

Physical Description: With the reawakening of the Wyld, hordes of parasitised thralls begin to pour across the lands, spreading the chaos and black dread of the Wyld. They have one goal: destroy civilisation, return the world to a state in which it is in perpetual flux, make the weak fear the strong again. They pursue this goal with relentless fervor, driven by the whispers in their minds and the hulking crow-like beasts that accompany them.

All is quiet for a long time, although in the distance a great murder of crows can be seen circling the Southern Plains. Abruptly that silence is broken, however, as the ground begins to rumble and the sound of earth parting for something large echoes throughout the Varan encampment. As if the earth is splitting at its seams, great chasms appear in the centre of the encampment, from which massive thorned vines spill, their trunks several feet long and their number uncountable, wrapping themselves about nearby buildings or tents and tearing at them, disrupting the infrastructure of the camp. Any humans caught in the initial wave of seething viney mass will be parasitised, the Wyld worming its way into their brain and corrupting their thoughts, turning them upon their bretheren with a complete lack of self-preservation or mercy.
It seems the Varan have drawn the eye of the Wyld.

Silence breaks.
As Aia and her Varan Cohorts anticipated, Andraste’s minions advanced on the camp. It didn’t take long for a magical attack to occur and proceed to rip the camp apart. A disaster… or at least, an averted disaster.
It was just a decoy. Those few unnatural, unmoving sentries may have looked like Varan from a distance, but they were but straw men adorned with mock armor. The camp is deserted - made obvious by the few fires still burning and overall quietness of the fortification.
For the moment, the main body of the Varan Cohorts were nowhere to be seen. The trap had been set, and the spring sprung, but mice were nowhere to be seen, and so the Varan had no one to engage. It does not take long for the hastily-built camp to be torn apart by the Wyld.
