Peace throughout Chaia has led to an age of prosperity.

The kingdom of Durazna has just reached a major breakthrough in technology — a “printing press”. Since the beginning of paper, books have been rare and hard to come by in most cases, or unfortunately expensive in others. This new invention has led to an explosion of communication, rumors, and more.

When the paper arrives to your hands, its bright pink paper calls for attention: “GLITTERING SOIL? PLAGUE BRINGS ROT TO FARMS ALL THROUGHOUT DURAZNA.”

Until now, the diseased farmlands seemed isolated, but as you read on the truth of the matter became clear. This is far from isolated, and it is growing worse, as the first village has reported their folk falling ill as well.
