About The Blight
The Blight covers the far north of the continent, between the Borderland nations and the Mountains of Dhoom. Its plants and animals are corrupted by the Dark One's touch, and Trollocs, Myrddraal and worse live there.
The four Borderlands, Saldaea, Kandor, Arafel and Shienar, exist to hold the Blight back. At the end of The Eye of the World the heroes walk into it to reach the Eye of the World.
Spoiler note: this guide mentions events up to The Eye of the World.
