== Overview ==

[[File:Icon_UI_Hostility_Eye.png|alt=Hostility|left|text-top]]

<blockquote>The forest recoils at the touch of exploitation and destruction, birthing an innate hostility.</blockquote>

The more your settlement grows, the more hostility you will generate. By default, each settlement starts with Hostility at 0. '''Each level of Hostility above 0 inherently lowers global [[Resolve]] by 2'''. Additionally, during the [[Storm]] stackable negative [[Forest Mysteries]] will trigger, each generating different negative effects depending on the current Hostility level. 

Hostility and the [[Queen's Impatience]] are inversely linked. Higher Impatience results in a reduction to Hostility. 

== Triggering Forest Mysteries ==

'''Looming Darkness''' is the "base" negative [[Forest Mystery]] that will activate during the [[Storm]] even at Hostility 0. The rest of the Forest Mysteries differ from settlement to settlement and always require at least Hostility 1 to activate. '''Higher Hostility levels activate stronger Storm Forest Mysteries'''. Some of them scale with the Hostility level directly.

== Why Hostility Increases ==

[[File:Icon_UI_Hostility_Eye.png|left||Hostility]]
Viceroys will generate different amounts of Hostility depending on the [[Difficulty]] they embark on. Viceroys can see what is currently causing their Hostility level by hovering over the eye icon on the top of their screen. Total Hostility is the sum of each amount, and each amount is the result of multiplication. These numbers scale with Difficulty; more hostility is generated at higher difficulties. Not included on this list are special effects from various [[World Events]], [[World Map modifiers]], and [[Glade Events]].

* Removing Woodcutters from {{bl|Woodcutters' Camp}}s
* Completing certain [[Glade Events]] that decrease Hostility
* Killing off [[villagers]]
* Driving up the [[Queen's Impatience]]
* Assigning a [[File:Fox circle.png|16px]] [[Fox]] to the [[Hearth]]
* Using [[Perks]] that lower Hostility
* Using the {{bl|Monastery}} bonus by assigning 3 workers to it
* Using the {{bl|Temple}} bonus by assigning 3 workers to it after [[sacrificing]] fuel to the [[Ancient Hearth]]
