Dimchill’s Blight

Dimchill was officially established as a settlement of Valdwen in 807 by King Charles Valdois II. The small farming community grew blueberries and blackberries in massive quantities and grew its economy by exporting their crops to all the reaches of Valdwen. In the early 810's farmers of Dimchill were claiming loss of their blackberry crops; it wasn't until 815 that it was confirmed/accepted that the missing crops were a legitimate problem. After two more seasons of confirmed accounts of the missing blackberries, the council decided to ban the farmers from growing them in the year of 817. The only exception to this was the Terthis family, because their region-famous Terthis Wine requires the blackberries, but they were required to construct a secure greenhouse in which to grow them. It is now nearing harvest season for the (now strictly) blueberry farmers of Dimchill, and something is happening to the crops. Some believe it is sabotage; some think it is the gods punishing them; some think it to just be bad luck.
