Story:
After the Warlord executed entire villages, he finally got the so called Miracle seeds. He decide to plant all of them in his private botanic garden.
The days passed and the plants started growing, but their power was yet to be discovered. They were poisonous plants, but the warlord still wanted to see them growing, since it was such a treasure for him and was scared anyone would steal them. His palace now is just silence, no more workers there, just his body, still sitting in the same place where he used to, but no sight of his soul.
After the death of the Warlord, villagers and servants decided to still live there; they started doing works on the buildings to keep them safe for everyone, ready to start a new life.
Problems started when a few villagers beginned dying for mysterious reasons, some just while walking, like their lungs stopped working, others during the sleep. The problem was the poison of the flowers still growing even out from the structure and after one worker died falling from the top of the main building, they thought it was the Curse of the dead Warlord and everyone left.
The plants on the bottom of the building kept growing and so the fear of the place.
Now the only ones living there are just homeless, desperate to find a place to stay, or thiefs and killers, that decided to choose this Cursed land as their place to hide from the law.
