Editing Dyed Lands (section)

==Overview ==
Before they were come to be known as the Dyed Lands, it was formerly a [[Lizardfolk]] nation known as '''Seequal'''. It had been a prosperous nation, but during the Selphid Empire, the Lizardfolk nation had come under attack. Rather than surrender, their greatest [Mages] had attempted to cast an experimental spell as armies marched on their capital. The result was a magical devastation for hundreds of miles. Both army and nation had been wiped out, but the rampant magic had provoked the natural wildlife to adapt or die. And so—The Dyed Lands had come into existence. 

Thousands of years later, it was, like the [[Bloodfields]], an encroaching land on the ‘normal’ jungles and animals. A wild place, full of highly-charged magical plants and animals. A place of wonder. And of course, terrible danger. The kind that had eaten entire armies who had tried to burn the Dyed Lands and establish control. Now, only a few people made their homes there. [Hunters] and [Alchemists] and [Gatherers], looking for new and rare ingredients, as there was a fortune to be made if you had the wits or courage.

But most kept far from the Dyed Lands. It was a kind of death. If you weren’t eaten by the swarms of flying midges who would devour you piece by piece, or ran afoul of one of the giant apex predators, like the ''teleporting cavernous maws'' or stumbled into a field of plants whose poison no [Healer] had ever seen before.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/10/7-22-d/ Chapter 7.22 D]</ref> Furthermore, the monsters of the Dyed Lands do not prey on their own colour.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/03/12/9-40-gg/ Chapter 9.40 GG]</ref>

Thus the strange land of contaminated magic and colors, a place for [Explorers] and true adventurers, akin to the Bloodfields, had always been dangerous, but contained. Growing, but watched. That was until the [[Timewalker]] had sensed the potential in the Dyed Lands and stepped onto it from the [[Kasignel|Land of the Dead]], and ate away the time, leaving only the future. Thus the Dyed Lands, with everything inside it, were sped up in time to 600 years of change.<ref name=":2">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/04/17/8-80/ Chapter 8.80]</ref>

As of now the Dyed Lands have overwhelmed their old area, and they’re expanding. Armies are forming a containment zone.<ref name=":3">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/06/03/9-00/ Chapter 9.00]</ref>
