Corruption of Farador

The Corruption of Farador is a widespread tainting of the lands surrounding Arda. The precise manner of the spread is still unknown, although some learned thinkers posit that it is akin the forces that drive Shadowfell, and is spread through the melting Voidal ice encasing the ancient city.

Travelling through the Corruption is known to have adverse affects on most creatures. Prolonged, continuous exposure makes enduring the effects increasingly difficult.
