"A plague has spread across the planet of Jaern. All major population centers have been hit and hit hard. It is known that magical healing will stop the symptoms and fend off dying, but they come back within weeks. As such, there are long lines in some of the larger cities where healers heal. Orusians and other priests desparately attempt to feed these healers units. Dwarves around Jaern are panicking and searching for relief. | "A plague has spread across the planet of Jaern.

- | I am sure you know that the current plague situation has hit Jaern hard and that the Centralia Guild of Wizards is doing its best to assist with efforts to control and eventually eliminate the plague. It is to this end that we request that all members capable of doing so learn the new healing spell that we have spent so long researching. This will assist in relieving the stress of others that are currently helping by increasing the number of healers available to the general public. There are many teachers at the temporary guild extension in Little Karfelon that will teach it to member at no cost. | ||
- | Also, Members might be interested to know that we have made more discoveries concerning the plague. We have discovered an ancient prophecy foretelling of this event. It states that "life will return and the horrible disease will be swept from the face of the planet." | + | === 09/07/10046 === |
