- Description
Plague is as much a part of the Dark Medieval landscape as mud and death. Without knowledge of the true causes of disease, mortals (and immortals as well) lay the blame at the feet of black cats, witches, spirits and assorted minority groups whom everybody knows to poison the wells.
But with this Knowledge you know better. You know how to brew disease in corpses, how to feed corruption and taint until you have a bubbling cauldron of plague ready to loose upon the world. You understand instinctively how to use vermin and insects to spread disease, and can even direct the spread of plague to a certain extent. When mounting sieges, you know how to use disease as a weapon with which to reduce towns and fortresses, and you can even poison some with disease-causing agents so that the death looks natural.
- Dabbler: You know that letting a corpse rot brings flies.
- Student: You can poison wells or direct siege engines to catapult corpses over city walls.
- Learned: You know how to breed different plagues, and can tend contagion like a garden.
- Scholar: You can direct your creation's spread, and can brew almost any illness known to man.
- Savant: The plague-pits are filled with your handiwork; armies wreak less devastation than do your creations.
- Visionary: In your laboratory of the obscene, you can create new diseases and summon plagues of demonic virulence. Should you wish, you could depopulate a kingdom with ease.
