In July, Cazic Thule decided to taint the Lesser Faydark region and corrupt it. The whole forest turned blood red. Imps, Frights, Skeletons, and other evil creatures roamed around. Cazic also corrupted Equestrial, a famous unicorn that the elves had a great respect for. It came down to Firiona Vie to put a stop to the corruption. Cazic knew what Firiona was trying to attempt. Since killing Equestrial was out of the question, the only way to cure Equestrial of her corruption was to cut off her horn. The only way for FV to do that was to touch the horn herself.
Cazic Thule then came to the forest to deal with Firiona herself, but Tunare appeared and fought him off. Before he left, Cazic laughed that while his corruption was now cleared from the forest, Firona Vie herself would be forever tainted because she had to touch the horn to cut it off. FV knew of this, but accepted the consequence anyway.

Yes, the Undead Sprites and Frightlings are new. They showed up on my server the day after the GM event where Firiona Vie removed Equestrelle's horn. Supposedly Cazic Thule has corrupted the innocent denizens of the forest.
I've seen Undead Sprites, Undead Sprite Spooks, Undead Sprite Raiders, Undead Sprite Horrors, Undead Sprite Guardians and Undead Sprite Guards. Be especially aware of the Undead Sprite Horrors since they are Shadow Knights which means they have that nasty Harm Touch. Some Horrors (but not all, might be level dependent) can see through invisibility. Guards, Guardians and plain Undead Sprites seem to be Warriors. I'm unsure what the Raiders and Spooks are, but so far the Horrors are the only ones that I have seen cast.
With a full group of 17-21st level players we were able to take on the red guards despite not being able to get any spells to stick. Loot was pretty good, though the details escape me now. At least one dropped a FS Rapier.
The Lesser Faydark also now boasts a red haze to it, instead of the normal greenish one. Certainly another side effect of Cazic Thule's attention.

Awarded during the GM event in LFAY back around 2000 for assisting Firiona Vie in defending the area against Avatar of Thule. That day Equestrielle, the white unicorn, became Equestrielle the Corrupted and LFAY fell into a blood red hue. In addition the the earring Kainzzo the Gnomelord received the title "The Wind Caller". There were 3 other titles representing the 3 other elementals.
I was part of the force helping Firiona Vie to summon the Avatar of Tunare when Cazic Thule interrupted the ceremony and tricked Firiona Vie into cutting off Equestrielle's Horn (which corrupted her).
