The plague has quickly been working its way down from the far North, causing masses of people to desperately retreat south. The origin is unknown, but priests seem to think it’s been caused by dark magic, rather than nature. The plague was first sighted in Falkreach seven weeks ago, and the main horde has just reached Minorhold. There are however infected all over the place, but in much smaller numbers (for now).

I'll provide more clarity once the RP starts (or when I'm next back at my laptop if I cba :P).
