	Wailing lights are more than a mere display of colors in the sky. They telepathically yet wordlessly communicate with those who behold them, though they affect different people in different ways. Most develop a strong sense of paranoia and are driven to lash out at any who may be around, even those who ~~who~~ known well and trusted. Others are induced to flee invisible assailants, harm themselves, or simply gaze up at the moving lights in dumbstruck awe. These effects of wailing lights influence animals as well as people, hence the caution the nomadic ~~people~~ of the steppes take to ensure their mounts and herds do not panic.
