The Deadlands were filled with countless swamps, most of which were located in its outer regions.
The creatures within the Deadlands, including the will-o'-wisps, all relied on Death Energy to survive. The moment they left the Deadlands, they would be instantly annihilated.
Life and death, Spiritual Energy and Death Energy—two pairs of opposing forces, locked in a cycle of creation and destruction.
Resources in the swamplands were scarce, with only a few scattered, low-level will-o'-wisps in existence. For a newborn will-o'-wisp to grow stronger, its only path was to advance by devouring its own kind.
It left its birthplace and flew toward the darker depths of the swamp.
Darkness was constant, and there was no concept of time here. However, the deeper it flew, the higher the concentration of Death Energy became. It could feel its own power condensing within the thick Death Energy.
