Fires of Tower of Overgrowth

While the forces of The Faceless have been mostly annihilated during the Extinction, a few of the Faceless Ones survived, becoming either guides for the remainders of humanity or thorns in the sides of the Lords. Some of their teams managed to even kill a few of the Lords in the last few years. One of them is the Lord of Overgrowth. However, they soon discovered, that they might have done something a little too risky just to weaken him a little. As a result, the evergrowing plants around the ruins of his tower are in a constant state of growing quickly and regrowing, constantly on fire. And sometimes, they might spread out outside of his former domain even though he is long dead and gone.  

Firestorms

Kundel managed to find some shelter just before the first sparks started falling from the sky.

Whenever the burning plants in the Domain of the Lord of Overgrowth grow out a little too much, reaching outside of its borders, the fires might spread to normal plants. Even when extinguished quickly, some of the sparks might fly out into the sky. And since the Lord's plants aren't normal plants, instead of going out, they might travel with the air currents and fall down far away like some kind of fiery drizzle, lighting up flammable materials. Luckily, those "rains" never traveled farther than 5 kilometers away from the ruins of the tower.

Metaphysical, Elemental

Solution

Right now, there is no solution for the fires other than trying to stop their spread, mostly by cutting off their path forward.
There are some rumors and assumptions on how to stop the fires altogether. Some think that the power of another Lord could stop them, either one who can control said element, one controlling the water, or any power that would destroy the plants faster than they could regenerate, by any means necessary.
Others think that deep within the tower, there still is the corpse of the Lord of Overgrowth and that its presence is the reason for the growth of the plants. So if one gets rid of his body, they will get rid of the plants and the fires will stop without the fuel.

Now that is a scary yet curious to see event! I'm glad it doesn't spread too much away the place tho :O

That one spells "multiple desasters to happen" ~ which is the point. One little thing though. "Infobox" under Firestorms is way to bright to let me focus on the text beneeth. Which could totally be a "my eyes thing". You might want to consider to A) tone it down slightly or B) Adding a few spaces between text beneeth and "box" (just like you have above).

Thanks for the advice, I lowered the intensity of the glow of the box and added some space between it and the text. I hope it looks better and thanks for reading the article!

Thank you, still has the impaced as needed, yet reads way smoother.
