12/30/00 Tainted Waters The wages of war have impacted the ecology of Valhalla.  The endless array of decaying corpses left after battles have polluted the waters of the land, forcing the Wetlands spirits to pack their bags and leave in search of more hospitable dwellings.  It is hoped that as the waters clear, these beloved spirits will again appear in the kingdoms of Valhalla.
