The Fourth Battle, that of Plants

Ahriman went forth upon the earth and
took many forms which pleased him – wolf,
serpent, toad, dragon and many other
predatory and bestial forms. He brought
unto the earth 10,000 diseases which fought
within the bodies of all living creatures.
Ahriman sent Taprev and Zairich to the
plants, to beget the tools of witchcraft and
sorcery, but also to join in bodies to
produce heat and thirst. As the plants and
trees buried themselves deep in the
chthonic depths of the earth, Taprev and
Zairich took the sacrifices of man such as
blood, hair, nails and the corpse to be the
food of which druj would grow and
manifest. Seek the earth and its dark
places, there you will find rest.
