Neverwinter Forest plague

She had been far from her mate when the strange humming had begun. She looked all around her and saw nothing, within the trees, but when the locusts descended upon Neverwinter she saw nothing but them. Scimitar howled, and Eshe picked up and ran toward him, incredibly confused with what was happening. These things... were they eating the conifers?

They blocked her line of sight, and Eshe was moving basically blindly. Where the hell...? The droning wings of the insects moving en masse were horrifying to the woman who had never seen or heard of anything like this in her life. What it meant, she did not know. One landed upon her and sought something, but in not finding anything it took off again.
