Editing Shield Spiders (section)

== Habitat around Liscor ==
Shield Spiders are can be found in the [[Floodplains]], where they are a major danger most of the year. Other parts of Izril where they occur are the Gnoll Plains.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/06/09/2-28/ Chapter 2.28]</ref>

They are a pest in the muddy valleys around [[Liscor]] shortly after the flood period ends, and are exterminated each year in an event referred to as the annual spring culling. The backbone of the Shield Spider hunt are Liscor's adventurers and the City Guard, but Antinium Soldiers or the military may also compete in this event.<ref name="6.30"/><ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/30/interlude-numbtongue-pt-1/ Interlude Numbtongue Pt. 1]</ref> While the culling in the first year of Painted Antinium participation was especially successful, the Spider Mating was also greatly enhanced after various events that provided enough prey for them.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/06/29/6-29/ Chapter 6.29]</ref> However, forays against Shield Spiders can be done all around the year; [[Ilvriss Gemscale|Ilvriss]] for example went out to clear out a few spider pits before the season started, when he was bored.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/05/17/4-36-o/ Chapter 4.36 O]</ref>

The majority of the Shield Spider population in the Floodplains was exterminated by [Druid] [[Nalthaliarstrelous]].<ref>[[Interlude – A Meeting of Druids|Interlude - A Meeting of [Druids]]]</ref>
