I know I'm not the only one feeling it, and I can't be the only one noticing a pattern here. People are feeling weird and there's been a general surge of interest in the Badlands. So just what in the Pit is causing this, and why does it want us out there? This is your prompting to starting throwing wild speculation around, everyone.

Firstforged? Any of you want to fill us in? You know, beyond the whole 'it's dangerous, don't go out there' deal.

As far as we can tell, there's an energy spike within the Badlands themselves. You're feeling the effects as the Call piercing through what defenses we have.

We're doing our best to counter it.

Do you know what's causing it?

Not...specifically. [he sounds reluctant to admit that, but, well]

Why not?

We are only able to gather so much from the Badlands. It- is difficult, at best, to obtain any sort of data from that area, despite our best efforts.

Yet groups of people have wandered out there on their own and come back just fine.
