Editing Wilders (section)

= The Wilder Environment =

Wilders are so much like nature it is difficult for a non-wilder (whether a Child of Light or pagan)  to actually see a wilder in its native aspect - they blend so perfectly with the surrounding nature as to be unseen. Often they are noticed only as a movement from the corner of the eye, or as a strange bump in the landscape; maybe a dank, nasty smell, or even a sudden neck-chilling emotion.
 
Because the wilders are unseen, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people (i.e. non-wilders, whether pagan or Children of Light) to take action against them. The exception is the spirit third-eye mystery scholars, who clearly see the wilders and thus can choose the conditions often when they enter into conflict with them.
 
It is critical that adventurers understand that as long as a wilder is in its native, untouched aspect, any conflict that arises will give great favour to the wilder. But this advantage is lost when the wilder leaves their native environment, or if the environment becomes ‘Touched by the Light’.  Not all members of the Church of the Elements will shine the Light of the Children of Light, but when it is present, it will burn the wilders and turn the circumstances against them.
