Uuz

The Uuz is one of Uzunda's most infamous hazards: a swirling, chaotic storm of malignant mana that regularly sweeps over the world's surface to devastating effect. Originating from the rotting carcass of Uzu, every piece of the world is affected by this magical hazard in some way. Uuz is destructive, often magically corroding environments it comes into contact with and mutating lifeforms caught within its violent winds. Most life remaining on Uzunda has had to adapt to the presence of Uuz, turning them into hardy, brutish beings.

Conversely, Uuz can also be a source of great power and be used to fuel machinery, cast destructive magics, and purposefully twist and mutate flesh. Several of Uzunda's races actively seek out Uuz for their own ends, such as the Maktorra and Jambana.
