Blight Upon the Plains
----------------------
The plains of Karana still
buckle under the terrible
plague that is effecting the
region. A terrible green mist,
swarms of insects and wide
spread disease are wreaking
havoc on the area.
Farmers report withered crops
that are nearly unfit for
consumption. We are thankful
that the terrors unleashed
upon the plains of Karana
have left us, for the most
part, unaffected. Druids are
asked to be spread the word
to travelers heading for the
Plains as many of the animals
have become infected with
rabies, from the mild and
majestic wolf to the fearsome
and respectable griffon.
Priests of all kinds are asked
to lend their efforts and
cure those that become
infected to keep the disease
from spreading.
