Diseased Relicary

Weird autopsies

An mild ailment corroded the streets of Arca two decades ago. The fevers were believed to be contracted throught the ingestion of contaminated fish and water. The vercals, renown healers, rose to power to ensure it wouldnt erradicate the city, but it ended making it worse. Health potions administered by Saint Trina's order were only capable of stopping the synthoms for a few days, and then they returned and so on. Anger festered in the streets, as only a few were able to afford such care and any attempts to replicate or look for a cure outside the order were crushed just as the poison filled vials between the teeths of their perpretators.

Queen Consuelo Vercal herself got the infection, but she endured years, for the monarch had the saints beside her. As the queen stood proudly on Arca Altus tall towers, the city withered at her feet. And another disease took the city: rebellion.

Only when the queen stepped down and took off the crown, as a final act of martydom, the plague was expelled from the city's lungs. The Nerón family then swore to legislate towards peace so the city could recover, not just from the epidemy, but also from the deep wounds that divided it.

The disease is now known as the Saltpeter fevers, due to its origin in the salty waters of the estuary, and the white residue pilling around the mouths of the ill. Just a few medics and forensic were able to see where it came from.

Depiction of a Finnish grass snake & orchard apple, Jaspi!

In Finnish tradition, the grass snake could be kept as an elättikäärme — a guarding snake that kept the property, cattle, and the people safe from the supernatural. They functioned similarly to elves, while also being treated like other pets in the household. This is why we still sometimes call them "garden snakes" (tarhakäärme).

We were feeling a little nervous about posting these images of arteries and veins...

These are all 18th-century engravings—and some are engravings based on other engravings, so don't go using them as maps or anything, who knows how many inaccuracies were introduced over time. Wanna see more? Follow this link to images by William Cowper and prepare to be amazed.
