Hello Hunters! In this blog, we want to give you an exclusive first look into the world of [i]Dragonkin: The Banished[/i]. As you may know from our [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1863430/view/4459221603601874983]class blog[/url], Dragon Blood can have various effects, granting immense power, but often at a deep cost. For you to better understand the insidious nature of the blood seeping into the world itself, we’ll walk you through two areas within one of the biome’s you’ll step into, a place twisted and tainted by Green Dragon Blood: the [i]Jungle[/i] and the [i]Swamps of Ja'Ksara[/i]. Let’s dive in! [b][h2]The Swamps of Ja'Ksara[/h2][/b] This treacherous land is home to the [b]Toxic Dragons[/b], whose blood has had a disturbing, corrupting effect on everything it touches. From the wildlife to the vegetation, the swamp is a twisted reflection of the [b]Green Dragon’s[/b] power. As you venture through the swamp, you’ll come across Batrachians that release deadly toxins when threatened, monstrous Moths that unleash swarms of insects ready to overwhelm you, Leeches (oh god, the leeches!) and Shamans that wield the electrical powers of the Blue Dragon, just to name a few. After all, who truly knows what else may lurk beneath these muddied waters… [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44904587/1ca6d75fcccbff93a84d276f328b6cb020700120.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44904587/eea6f735a3ba312f74cc47da525623255d435f50.png[/img] Nestled within the towering treetops, you’ll discover a [b]cult village[/b], here the tainted waters have even begun to affect the locals. [h3][b]Meet the Monstrous Swarm[/b][/h3] Without a doubt you’ll meet the [b]Monstrous Swarm[/b], a [i]moth-like[/i] (and terrifying creature) that has been completely transformed by Green Dragon blood. Characterized by it’s enormous mouth, it can summon [b]Dragonflies[/b], tiny but deadly insects, ready to sting on sight.

Corrupted creatures wander, hostile to those who dare venture too close to their homes. And as you journey deeper, the Jungle itself will threaten your progress, as if *something* doesn't want you to reach its core.

[h3][b]Meet the Rampant Corruption[/b][/h3] It’s here in the Jungle that you'll cross paths with this unnatural [i]rampant tree-like[/i] creature animated by the Blood of the Green Dragon.
