I will attempt to provide a full report of the information provided by the sprite who interrupted our early mid-winter celebration but unfortunately she was somewhat vague in parts.
The sprite identified herself as Three Claws, an elder of the sprites, who herself had memories of the ancient events she described. Significantly, along with the expected air spells, Wizard Viktor was also able to divine the presence of an incredibly high level general casting on her.
She initially warned us that the Shadow (I capitalise for emphasis) had returned. Elaborating she explained that ages and ages ago (and ages and ages and ages) there was an evil entity 'The Shadow' who was outside nature and hated all living things. Its minions included corrupted dryads and things that looked like people but weren't.
It was defeated by all 5 druidic sects working together with aid from the sprites (and some fox and snake creatures I understand another patrol encountered) to split the entity into the shard previously located and the box (which went to the Spears). The five individuals buried under the Hill were the leaders of this effort or these groups (it is unclear). The sprites then lost their memories of these events until recently, which suggests the box has been opened, possibly by the demon forces.
To put the timescales into context, all this happened originally after the 'singing house' (we believe the shift site) had gone quiet - I understand from Humact Cecil that this was estimated to be some thousands of years ago - and the problems have started again since the 'singing house' started 'singing' again (presumably when the shift site was reactivated two years ago).
Three Claws described the start of the bad things as 'wormy things going through the air' - others have described the sense as like tentacles in the back of their minds. This Shadow, or whatever we want to refer to it as, is likely responsible for the Black Sludge and possibly also the demons.
