Tabletop Lore

A rat infused with a strain of Dragonblight in clandestine experimentation by an unknown party. It was donated to the Crucible, with the organizers unaware of the beast’s true nature, believing themselves to simply have another powerful creature in their midst. It will prove to be much more of a problem than they first thought, transforming the prestigious fighting pits into a nesting ground for an unstoppable, flesh-wrought plague.
