Plain of Sighs
The Plain of Sighs is covered with scatterings of standing stones. These stones have an emotional aura of depression and apathy. With regularity, storms of uncollected souls sweep over the plain causing necromantic damage to those caught in them
For the most part, we have been able to use summoned steeds to fly above the storms. Additionally, the standing stones offer protection against the necromantic damage to those standing next to them.
At one point, however, a very large storm had enough height to force us to land. In this case, it appeared that several souls were controlling the swarm as a whole. We were able to defeat these souls and the rest dispersed. During the storm, a large ambush predator (perhaps a shadow altered toad) attacked the party and we were forced to fight a two front battle.
The standing stones appear to be people who died within the aura of another stone. While this is the metaphysical reason for their existence, it is not a fully possible theory. The stones are not clustered. As a result, they would appear to have been moved or earlier stones have been destroyed or weathered away.
