The Herd
Planar pathway
When rutting season comes to the Beastlands, countless hordes of migrating creatures regularly make the crossover between the plains of Krigala and Arborea. Graybeards reckon that the passionate mindset of the creatures alone is enough to shift tracts of land from one plane to the next, for up to several weeks at a time, and it’s this effect that some travellers make use of to jump from one plane to the next at certain times of the Planar Year. If a cutter’s capable of running with the herds and avoiding predators like leomarh and manticore, he can make the jump too.
While the herds are gone, it gives the Beastlands a chance to catch its breath and the pastures to regrow, unfettered by the nibbling teeth of countless hungry mouths, so it’s all a natural part of the planar cycle. Some planewalkers also claim to have followed herds from the Beastlands to the Outlands during the Outlands month of the Flocking.
