Meet the new Mordles...SUBJECT: Ardaan's Mist

On planet Uzalek, many sectors of the planet beyond the Great Jungle are subject to strange shifts in geography, weather, and gravity. Commander Zogg tasked his personal keeper of knowledge, a Murlun of light blue (similar to many of the eggs found on Uzalek) named Ardaan, with cataloging these phenomena and indexing them for potential future use. After the rampage of Rand, and the subsequent Geist and Ha-Zrad incursions, Zogg sat down with Ardaan, Piotr of the Murlun, and the rest of the Mordle council to discuss ways to defend the Great Jungle.

The most promising of the discoveries was a cloud that appeared every fifty-eight risings of the sun of planet Uzalek. The cloud was located at the most southeastern point of the Great Jungle, where the jungle transitioned into a gritty surface; it appeared for approximately forty-two counts of a Mordle foot tap (the standard measure of Mordle time), six-hundred foot taps after the rising of the sun in that area.

Exposure to this cloud would turn a Mordle completely transparent, rendering them invisible to sight and mental detection by other Mordles. A side effect - completely useful for once, instead of the insanity rendered by consumption of Mordle flesh to gain size and strength - was the ability of these Mordles to illuminate their eyes, making it easier for them to see in dark places. So far, one Zerak Mordle had survived the cloud, an accidental exposure - a carpenter Mordle named Dantusur. Zogg tasked Ardaan with taking a select group of twenty Mordle warriors to the cloud, giving him an invisible army of sentinels against threats to the Great Jungle.
