Radiation Sickness

Overview (WIP)

The Dark Star Plague was once an ancient source of fear and devastation across the cosmos in the early days of space travel. It's unknown source caused panic and almost wiped many societies from the map. At its hight it stretched far across the stars, but suddenly, it seemingly vanished. No one knows exaclty why but cases now are extremely rare and many are false alarms.

Elarion's Wrath they called it on Sthundoth. Spacer's Bane on Kiros. Whatever the name, the mark of death was always the same: a small black starburst. Soon hundreds more would appear all over the body and spread their infection through a web of black veins. A cure has avoided science for centuries, and only the most powerful of mages and mystics stand a chance of stopping it. Should the Dark Star Plague one day return, I fear oblivion is the fate of its victims.
