	The Barrens are highly unpredictable. The exact perils one may face in a given stretch of the landscape are not fixed, and may vary from day to day. Chaotic and rapidly shifting weather is one of the most obvious distinguishing characteristics of the region. Lightning storms, flash floods, and tornadoes all appear without warning or obvious sources. Warped plants and fungus thrive in the region, many of which are known to attack (and sometimes consume) hapless travelers. Magically altered creatures pose dangers as well. In some parts of the Barrens, fires ~~from Hell~~ occasionally erupt from the ground, forming massive walls of flame that can burn even those standing at a great distance away. Perhaps the worst of the effects are the fog clouds. Not only do these make it quite easy to lose one’s direction, they also slowly kill and then reanimate any who remain in them for too long. The fog clouds also often bring rains of gore and plagues of vermin along with them, which only compounds the highly unsettling and dangerous environment.		The Barrens are highly unpredictable.
