When the Rot came Ya-Shuur did not first perceive it as a Rot, but as a great shockwave that spread across the island and darkened it. It was the product of disharmony and would produce only disharmony, so much Ya-Shuur could sense. And then he could smell it and he saw how fruits on trees were suddenly decaying and rotting, becoming a source of poison and death rather than nutrition and life. This disturbed Ya-Shuur and he walked on, finding that not only fruits were affected by this Rot, but vegetables like carrots, and even the cocoa beans from which the sudi-shrib was made shrivelled up and died. 

With the once beautiful bean in his hand, Ya-Shuur rose and looked back and forth from it hesitantly. His lips quivered ever so slightly and his hands shook, and then he let the rotten bean fall from his hand and he dragged his feet away. As he walked and the weight of what had occurred fell on him, his face grew relaxed and eyes blank. He took a deep breath, walked, and observed.

Fruits, vegetables, and seeds were rotting and dying. Their death meant that over the next few weeks many frugivores began to die off. Many of these were birds and small mammals, and some reptiles. The sudden complete destruction of their whole food source had a particularly drastic effect and the deterioration was swift and immediately noticeable, especially for someone as attuned to Be'r-Jaz as Ya-Shuur. The balance had been disrupted and a catastrophic fallout appeared imminent.

This state of affairs also affected the island's new inhabitants, the vall, since their diet consisted largely of animals dependent on creatures that were now swiftly perishing due to the eradication of their foodsource, and this meant that competition for food among the vall grew more desperate and disputes over food often broke out into violent hostilities. Some even took to raiding each other's camps to get at the scarce food.

There was something deeply unjust in all of this, Ya-Shuur thought. The longer he observed, the more certain he grew that this cloud that covered the island and brought imbalance and destruction, this stenchful Rot, was not a natural occurrence by any means. It seemed to him to be supernatural, a deliberate attempt to disturb the harmony he sought to protect. Someone was disrupting his duty, punishing the entire island for no clear or just reason. For the land itself had done no wrong, and neither had the fruits and vegetables and seeds, nor had the birds and other creatures that were now starving to death, and neither had the animals that depended on those. And though the vall had yet to fully understand justice and become part of the island's balance, Ya-Shuur had seen no great collective crime from them that justified such a vast collective punishment. And punishment without justice was null and void.

The Great Shepherd raised his herding stick. "I am the Land." He said simply, and brought it down. An imperceivable shockwave rippled across the island. And there was justice.

[list][*][hider=Summary]Ya-Shuur observes the effects of the Rot brought about by Shengshi. The island is suffering and so are its denizens, and Ya-Shuur perceives that this kind of vast and collective punishment is unjust. Punishment without justice is null and void, and so he dissipates the curse.
