FIXED ON 11/9
Background:
There are 12 different names for the race type of Minions in the Elysian Arena.
One of them shows up as "Tree of ProtectiFettered". This is garbage text, you can see it underlined in red below.
Likely Cause:
This field is likely a wchar[16] but you pulled the wrong string ID from your translation management tool and tried to use the string "Tree of Protection". This string is too long for a wchar[16] and doesn't even make any sense in this context. The end of the string was truncated including the null character terminator which caused the string to overflow into the next race string "Fettered" (which has a proper terminator character).
Reproduction Steps:
1) Enter Homestead
2) Click on the Elysian Arena
3) Check around for a minion with a race type or prey race type of "Tree of ProtectiFettered"
Fix:
Replace the truncated "Tree of Protecti" field with a more logical string.
These strings are just identifiers and have no intrinsic meaning so for a replacement how about "Sanguine", I like that word.
