Bolka

Deep in the forests by the caddish trees men fall sick, they begin to cough, shivers rattle through their body, some keel over, others begin to scream, agony touches the souls, the sickness continues to spread, all succumb to the disease eventually sometimes it last days other times weeks, those sick beg for death to grace them, over time after one is infected a cold sweat starts to run, after twenty four hours the body begins rapidly losing moisture, after several days the eyes become dried and the victim becomes blind, the damage is often irreparable however with correct medical treatment life can be prolonged and fever can be prevented.  This disease has claimed the lives of children, it has claimed the life of adults it comes in the lands which mine which mine Cradish and its impacts are deadly, when the substance of Cradish is mined form the trees there is a slight chance that highly deadly bacteria enter the body through the Cradish, this disease has shaped the mines and changed the lives of many.  Often the pathogen spreads from the Cradish mines to the rural towns towards larger cities and then on trade roots, people fall sick thousands die, a skilled polarizer who can bend water with ease may heal this sickness however there are very few of these, the truth is that to most to be infected with the horrid disease of Bolka is to be condemned to death. On some dark streets in infected cities some say a horrid black thing wanders the streets, as it passes the servants of pain and horror destroy those who walk near, the horrid black shape consumes all, none return from its arms, it walks along dark streets visiting the young the sick and the old, where it goes death follows, It is Bolka the horrid painful death.
