The Sickness of Choroba
The Sickness of Choroba
In-universe date: Era Nova, August--September, Year 2
Real-world date: 19 August 2026
Author: Village Council of Choroba
In recent weeks following the expedition to the flowery forest, the village of Choroba has been plagued by an unknown sickness.
The symptoms of the sickness include shortness of breath, a paroxysmal cough, involuntary twitching, and in a few cases, paralysation. Those who experience paralysation show signs of no cognitive abilities, essentially leaving them a husk of who they were before.
Furthermore, the village of Choroba was visited by a traveller named Percival Van Der Berg who happened to have some medicinal knowledge. Percival examined some of the patients and created a herbal remedy that numbed down the symptoms.
Finally, villagers residing near the walls have supposedly heard scratching sounds late at night along with some faint but sharp screeches similar to what was reported as coming from the shadowy bird.
Unrest is growing throughout the village as a result of recent events.
