The Bloody Flux

Disaster / Destruction

Salundra and Gunnar spent the winter of 2507 in Drakenburg, placating the fears of her mother about the accusations being made about her family.   Gunnar kept himself busy stalking goblins in the woods around the castle, whilst Salundra tried to cope with the political issues that beset the Duchy. As usual her older brother Konstantin was nowhere to be found having ridden off on another one of his debauched expeditions to the flesh spots of the Empire. Whilst her younger brother Brunner seems unable to think of anything constructive to do.   Then came the first plague. 'The Bloody Flux' stuck the Duchy laying hundreds low and leading to widespread panic amongst the people.   Salundra was kept busy organising funeral pyre's to try and clear the dead and control the infestation. Until she finally went down with the disease herself along with her mother and Gunnar was forced to become a nursemaid.   Salundra was to recover only to have the stoic Gunnar go down with the plague and their roles reversed.
