Act 2 spoilers

Interesting, and that would explain why the druids entered into an alliance with the Harpers to fight Ketheric. And why you find the corpses of so many druids in the Shadow Cursed lands.

It would make a lot of sense for the druids to go fight the Dark Justiciars if they were actually encroaching on the grove itself. (Blighted Village is close enough that I’m sure it would have been threatening.) Very interesting! I’ve never put the pieces together before.

Seems like Dark Justiciars had been a powerful presence in so many of the areas in Act 1. The Underdark especially (as you noted), the monastery of Lathander, the Selunite settlements. The landscape of Act 1, even, is shaped by Shar.

I guess it’s difficult to discern the presence of Sharrans at first glance, because you have to read through a bunch of little notes you find to see it. I haven’t seen any documents that state that they overran the Selunite temple, although I’m sure they did. (Unless the Selunites in the Underdark were fighting Sharrans and not monsters like I assumed.)

I don’t remember seeing a statue of Selune underground in the Blighted Village, is that in the area with the spiders?
