Long after the [[Gloriana Forest]] was transformed by the [[Taint]], Viravain attempted to restore parts of the forest to its former glory. As she worked to restore what had came to be known as the [[Glomdoring|Glomdoring Forest]], she was tricked by [[Raezon]] into pushing past Her limits and became vulnerable to the possession of [[Kethuru]]. When She returned, she was changed by the experience and decided to form a new commune devoted to spreading the Tainted forest to all reaches of the [[Basin of Life|Basin]]. | ||

''It is the misconception of some, because the ways of Viravain are challenging and often seem harsh, that a quality such as beauty is a thing to be ignored at best, or perhaps even actively suppressed.

Beauty ensnares the mind. Beauty enflames the passions and clouds the rationality. Beauty causes those who would be your enemies to wish they were your friends. To be intentionally beautiful is the beginning of the way of domination and power, for many a poisoned dagger is carried in an ornate sheath.'' | ''Nay, beauty is a thing to be prized.
