The condition that has been sweeping Nyxis' Horn and Tail factions has become a full-blown epidemic. No Horn or Tail is completely unscathed by now. Some are reporting an increase in nightmares and nightmare-related insomnia. After using their abilities, those of the Horn and Tail factions have also reported feeling a terrible compulsion to harm themselves or those around them. The more often an ability is used or the more powerful the skill, the worse these compulsions become.

All factions are coming together now in order to find a way to dispel this condition and allow those in the Horn and Tail factions to go back to work. As it stands now, many are choosing not to use their abilities at all, and transferring to other factions or finding work elsewhere in Nyxis.

On top of that, as the fall season arrives, many officials in Nyxis are worried about what took place last year during the late autumn season, involving many Nyxis residents who simply vanished--and then awakened in Nyxis, some with serious conditions or weakened abilities. Could this be linked to what is happening now? All of Nyxis waits with bated breath, hoping and praying for a cure.
