Mushs

Overview

Mushs are a family of mushrooms that have the unique characteristic of being sentient. They were crucial in discovering the cure for The Nifir epidemic.

Characteristics

Sentience

These conscious mushrooms possess awareness and can form social structures. They live in forest or underground colonies and have various “customs.”

Social Behavior

Over time, the Mushs accepted Themba Hekekia into their colonies, allowing him to study their ecosystems and behaviors.

Mana Filtering Ability

Discovery

Themba Hekekia was astonished to discover that Mushs had the ability to filter Mana from the environment and living beings.

Process

Mushs transform unstable Mana into appeased Mana by passing it through their bodies. Using their mycelium, they could extract unstable Mana and offer purified Mana in return.

Role in Curing the Nifir

The Breakthrough

This Mana-filtering discovery was crucial in curing The Nifir. The disease was linked to unstable Mana, which the Mushs could purify.

Distribution

Numerous mush spores were sent to all corners of the Peninsula. Over time, they grew into adult Mushs that helped eradicate the epidemic.

Success

Within a few years, thanks to this fortuitous discovery, The Nifir was eradicated from Asgartha.
