Pox Inside Fastheld Keep!

FASTHELD - Word is spreading rapidly, but not so rapidly as the dark pox: The plague that originated in the Shadow District and spread beyond thanks to the traveling of Trenton Trast Lark has now infected Fastheld Keep. Officials in the keep were gathering for an Imperial Council meeting when word arrived that many people inside the palace - Emperor Talus Kahar XIV himself among them - had fallen ill with the pox. Chancellor Oren Nillu has called for all the realm's best healers to come at once, but the gates of the keep will be open for no others until further notice.
