Alpha-2 corrupted area in the Riverlands biome.[1]

We just saw a corrupt zone and that zone becomes corrupt after a period of time in which players are not addressing some issues that arise through certain events or through certain story arcs; and that corruption can spread and corruption changes the spawners for resources and for monsters; and that has a fundamental effect on the resource economy of the game.[2]Steven Sharif

Corrupted areas (zones/points of interest) can dynamically evolve with the progression of nodes and story arcs.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

  • These are sources of NPC events that players need to address before they grow out of hand.[2][10][7]
    • Players need to participate in these events to stop the spread of corruption and hold back the intrusion on the material plane.[2][9]
    • If players fail to address these corrupted areas, the frequency of NPC events against their node will increase. These can lead to node buildings and services being disabled, increasing the node's vulnerability to node sieges.[11]
It can be a very detrimental thing if corruption is not addressed; and that's the intent of corruption, is to present a challenge to the players that if not addressed it becomes exacerbated and a problem over time.[11]Steven Sharif
To degree your mortal coil, as we call it, or what some might consider a soul from your character's perspective within this story- can be influenced and can be changed into a shape that's more in tune with corruption; and that's through doing PvP things you can accomplish that.[12]Steven Sharif
When it enters the corruption state outside of weather, in that corrupt state, you will probably see a little bit less of the influence of the season because really it's adopting that corruption, which in-and-of-itself is a season.[14]Steven Sharif

List of Corrupted areas

Corrupted resources

Corrupted resources are variations of resources that are necessary components for certain crafting recipes.[3][15][16][17]

We saw over the course of the last few months different types of resources that have altered states when corruption is present and it becomes a corrupt version of itself, which is a necessary component for certain types of crafting endeavors as well. So there is a relevance- meaningful component of why that corruption would want to be interacted with from the player's perspective.[3]Steven Sharif

Verderbte Essenz

Verderbte Essenz (allgemein einfach als "Verderbnis" bezeichnet) ist der negative Aspekt der Essenz, der von den Uralten während der Apokalypse verbreitet wurde.[19][20]

Verderbnis ist die Verkörperung der Magie der Uralten: der Hass der Uralten. Die Uralten wollten sich an der Schöpfung und an dem was die Götter auf Verra zu erreichen versuchten rächen, da diese sie in die Leere verbannt hatten. Und somit ist die Verderbnis der Einfluss der Essenz, der die Gebiete der Welt überzieht und versucht die Schöpfung zu verdrehen.[12]Steven Sharif
  • Die Verderbnis wurde von den Vorboten, kometenähnlichen Himmelskörpern, die von einer sehr starken Magiequelle angetrieben werden, nach Verra gebracht.[21][22]
Was macht die Verderbnis, wenn sie durch die Welt sickert? Sie sickert auf eine Art und Weise ein, die auf den Fortschritt der Spieler reagiert. Wenn sich also die Nodes entwickeln, wenn die Welt durch die Gesellschaft zunehmend zivilisiert wird, wenn man hinausgeht und diese Städte und Nodes aufbaut und so weiter, dann reagiert die Verderbnis darauf. Es ist ein gleichmäßiges Zurückdrängen, das es zu erreichen versucht. Und es liegt an den Spielern, das Fortschreiten dieser Verderbnis zu verhindern, indem sie bestimmte Handlungsbogen-Questlinien abschließen, bestimmte Bosse töten oder an Inhalten teilnehmen, die mit der in die Welt einsickernden Verderbnis zu tun haben. Aber Verderbnis ist nicht nur schlecht, denn Verderbnis verändert Spawns und Populationen und sie verändert Ressourcen, die verfügbar sind - einzigartige Ressourcen... Es gibt also eine relevante, sinnvolle Komplexität, warum der Spieler mit dieser Verderbnis interagieren will. Aber es ist eine Push-and-Pull-Situation. Das ist es ja, was die Verderbnis bewirken soll, ein Spannungsfeld zwischen dem Fortschritt der Gesellschaft und dem Wildwuchs, der da war.[3]Steven Sharif

Blood magic

Effects of Blood magic near the Tower of Carphin.[26]

Blood magic is a school of magic that creates a certain amount of corruption in the caster. This corruption can bleed over into the environment and other things that the caster draw Essence from in order to cast these spells.[27][28]

  • The curse of Carphin was born from blood magic.[29] This began with the blood sacrifice of Veric Pulsifer by Laria Lemonte, which started a ritual that led to the mass killing of the residents of Carphin, turning them undead.[30]
  • The ability to wield blood magic might be considered "illegal" by certain lawful citizens and nations of Verra. There may be ramifications when players discover and experience blood magic in the world.[27]
When we say that blood magic is "illegal", we're talking about in the context of a normal everyday player who's a citizen of Verra having come from Sanctus. You are adhering to the local laws and guidance from nation governments and/or node governments to be a good upstanding citizen of Verra. You adhere to these laws. The ability to wield blood magic might be seen in some storylines we'll see. That is left to the players to experience and discover. Those types of choices might have ramifications on your character and or ramifications within story lines... Whether players will be able to wield blood magic is up to the different story lines you all explore.[27]Steven Sharif
When we talk about how do we create a blood corruption setting, well what is the associated colors, what's the shape language of blood magic. This flowing river- you saw some of them in the VFX of the zone and Carphin- you saw the mist in the deep red saturation. Each of the environments and the magics and what we create has an associated style guide that includes color wheels and palettes across different influences.[27]Steven Sharif
