	The population of Reikos is suffering badly from the effects of the disease, and those brave souls who own property there will experience significant problems. Civil servants estimate that every [[Resource#Personal_Resource\|resource]] in an affected [[territory]] will produce only three quarters of what could normally be expected for as long as the plague endures. Much worse will be the impact on the soldiers of the [[~~Imperial army~~\|Imperial armies]] - the three forces affected by the disease are expected to lose one-in-ten of their number each season they suffer.

	At present the contagion appears to be limited to Reikos, but long experience with outbreaks of disease have shown that the three Imperial armies currently stationed in Reikos will certainly carry the disease with them wherever they travel. If an affected army leaves Reikos then any lands they pass through will become infected with the disease.

	The Empire will naturally be keen to solve the plague quickly. If the disease is a spontaneous outbreak, then the Empire can hope it will run it its course within a few seasons but if it is caused by some malignant scheme of the Druj then there is no saying how long it could last. What is clear is that the quicker the healers of the Empire can find some way to deal with this plague, the more lives will be saved.		The Empire will naturally be keen to solve the plague quickly.

	During the Autumn Equinox, a herbal cure was uncovered for the Reikos Flux. The territory of Reikos was filled with Spring magic, using the Urizen army, the [[Citadel Guard]], as a focus. Cleansing rain quickly washed away the remaining signs of the flux. While a few individuals still have the sickness, the armies and citizens of Reikos have been cured of the disease.

	She took the bucket from him as he fell back onto the pallet, still groaning from the pain of his cramps. She held the candle to his face, to try and see if his ~~palor~~ had improved but if anything his condition was worsening. His breathing remain deep and laboured, and his skin retained the unnatural grey-blue tint he had shown when he came in but now the skin ~~weas~~ losing its turgor and his eyes seemed like they were receding into his sockets.

	The soldier was so young, Delilah wondered how on earth she had managed to pass her Test of Citizenship. She stood staring at Delilah, her mouth aghast. Was she mortified by what Delilah had said or the prospect of having to repeat them to the Commander?

Tell him I urgently need more clean water for them to drink and ask him to spare up to five people from the watch rota to help me tend to their needs."
