During a gather celebration at Southern Boll Hold, a body washed ashore along a stretch of beach not far away. A couple, on a "romantic" (if spring chilly) late night walk discovered the bloated man (at least rumors say it\'s a man) and sounded the alarm with a shriek. Shortly thereafter, the body was taken into Hold healers\' custody and the crowd dispersed.%r%rThe official line is that there seems to be no foul play and is likely a fisherman who ended up drowning at sea. But rumors fly fast and far that the man\'s knot colors, what could be seen of it, was that of someone who looks to Ista Hold.
A bloated body washes ashore during a Boll Gather.
Less than a seven after the body was discovered, the couple who discovered the body was admitted into the infirmary with high fevers and chills, while complaining of a cough. A bright rash has started to appear across their chests. Among the ten healers who viewed and helped perform an autopsy on the body, seven have started to have a slight cough with a high flush on their cheeks. Lady Jenilynn has ordered a preemptive quarantine of the affected people to the Hold\'s infirmary and the body burned at sea.
A new day\\\, some more spread. By day 23\\\, it has become known that Boll is being run by the Steward and a skeleton staff as a large part of the Hold\\\, including the Lady and her family\\\, seems to be affected by this mysterious sickness. Those among the healers who seem immune have brought in as many able bodies to help with the tending of the ill\\\, though with the precaution of make shift masks from a piece of fabric and ties. They have sent a request for further assistance from Healer Hall.
A skeleton crew of Steward and those who seem immune run Boll as Lady Jenilynn and family fall ill.
Fort and Ruatha Hold go on quarantine\\\, as numbers start to rise in the area of those who might possibly be infected. Neither the Lords nor their healer staff are taking the risk while Healer Hall has engaged itself to send more healers where needed in the Fort area.
Fort and Ruatha go on quarantine\\\, as those who may be sick increase. Healer Hall assists.

The Bollian family starts to die\\\, a few on the 3rd\\\, another on the 4th\\\, the Lady succumbs shortly after her husband in the evening on the 5th. While the drums sound to let Pern know\\\, the Hold itself has no emotional energy to grieve as the Hold's stalwart Steward steps in.
Bollian Blooded family starts dying\\\, while a large part of the Hold is ill.
Word from Tillek is that the Hold has started turning away all ships-- indeed\\\, that one arrived that had been in the Southern Boll region at one point\\\, and was refused even the opportunity to pick up more supplies. Word\\\, too\\\, is that there was a girl on the deck\\\, screaming for her father. Lady Edeline\\\, however\\\, has made it very clear: Tillek is closed to trade. Similar reports are now beginning to come out of other Holds in the High Reaches region. Although there have been no officially reported cases of plague\\\, Crom and Nabol in particular are guarding their borders as best they can... which is\\\, not admittedly\\\, perfectly.
Holds in the High Reaches region begin to close their borders.
Reports of deaths have started to come out of the Fort region. But there are also reports of some people recovering and many people immune. What\'s causing the illness is still unknown\, though many are quick to point out nothing of this nature happened prior to \'\'that\'\\' body showing up. However\, with good news \(and bad news\)\, there\'s even more bad news as reports of illness are being reported in the Telgar region and along the Fort-Igen border. Telgar Weyr has been quick to request preemptive aid from Healer Hall\, but Healer Hall has its own struggles as the illness reaches Fort\'s doors more definitively.
Healer Hall reports deaths\, but also recoveries. Illness spreads to outskirts of Telgar and Igen.
At High Reaches Weyr\\\, orders are simple: business as usual. Sweeps continue to be flown\\\, visits to holds continue to be made; all possible aid is to be offered\\\, although\\\, naturally\\\, precautions should be taken. Any cases of potential plague are to be reported immediately\\\, and should a rider come in contact with it directly\\\, they are to quarantine themselves immediately. Further\\\, any pregnant rider is reminded that they must report to their wingleader and then the weyrwomen immediately; no pregnant rider may remain in the wings.
High Reaches continues sweeps as usual despite the threat of plague.
Preparations at Fort Weyr had been underway for days when their fears are realized on day 8\\\, month 4. Not only riders\\\, but also the family of some of those affected have begun to turn up in Fort Weyr's infirmary to tick off the list of symptoms noted by the healers as being ''the'' illness. Some who arrive are sicker than others from the start\\\, perhaps most notably Junior Weyrwoman Dahlia who was brought in by brownrider R'oan after fainting in the hot springs\\\, delirious with her high fever and showing the rash. That the illness has reached the Weyr at all doesn't bode well for Fort\\\, but that their Acting Senior is grief-stricken and their only Junior is plagued by a disease that has already claimed victims? That's truly terrible news.
The mysterious illness from Southern Boll arrives at Fort Weyr. Jr.WW Dahlia\\\, among others\\\, falls seriou
Benden Weyr convenes the Weyrs in a meeting that is hesitantly attended. Up for discussion\\\, discussion for a global strategy to contain the illness to Fort. However\\\, conversation gets derailed quickly to point out how Boll's family has gone\\\, leaving the area without Blooded leadership\\\, and that Fort's leadership is impacted\\\, the once-resigned acting Weyrwoman having lost family and now the sole junior having fallen ill. The end result is a majority vote throwing open Fort's leadership to the next non-retired junior gold to rise. However gauche it is\\\, bets are already being placed on who will rise next all over Pern with the forerunner being Dosanyth of Igen\\\, followed by Sunfialth of Benden\\\, Zaisavyth of Monaco and Bodeventh of Igen.
Benden convenes the Weyrs. Fort leadership thrown open to first non-retired junior gold on Pern to rise.
A scattering of cases of plague are reported near the border between Nabol and Ruatha by day 9\\\, with an admission that they may not have been reported ''immediately''. The illness appears to be spreading northwards\\\, if far more slowly than it ''could''. In response\\\, although there have yet to be any cases at Nabol Hold proper\\\, Lady Tevrane has moved her family into seclusion\\\, leaving her steward to manage day-to-day business. Some are calling it a smart move\\\, but others seem less sure. Why should the Blood have that option when no one else does?
Cases of plague are reported in Nabol. Lady Tevrane goes into seclusion.
The first cases of plague reach High Reaches Weyr. The Weyrleaders announce a temporary wing of volunteers willing to go out into the coverage area and provide aid wherever required; they will be compensated accordingly. Additionally\\\, High Reaches dragonriders are no longer permitted to leave the coverage area\\\, a ruling that will be enforced by the Weyr's queens.
Plague reaches High Reaches Weyr. The Weyr responds.
Mid-morning of day 16\\\, month 4 saw a slight commotion at Fort Weyr's dragon infirmary. At his dragon's request and courtesy of Taeliyth's instruction\\\, dragonrider R'oan was brought from his cot to his waiting brown just outside the cavern\\\, before Etrevth took them both Between. The dragons keened in mourning of the first rider plague loss Fort Weyr has seen\\\, though healers are quick to say that it was doubtful that R'oan would have lived long enough to make any difference Betweening now or dying later.
Following R'oan's death on the 16th\\\, the 17th of month 4 and the following sevenday sees the death toll rising in Fort Weyr. There are dragon keens when a rider passes\\\, but that mourning fanfare doesn't count the true total for residents and those posted crafters unfortunate enough to have been infected die without that public note. The infirmaries are still busy; the well are deterred from spending time with the ill\\\, though volunteers of the appropriate age are accepted as needed to replace those who have fallen ill through performing the same task.
Though cases of illness had come to the outlying Holds and passed through Ruatha region\\\, the quarantine measures put in effect at the main Hold seemed to be relatively successful until day 17\\\, month 4 when the drums sound to inform Pern that Lord Giarnon and his family along with a significant number within the Hold have begun to show signs of the illness. Ruatha Hold is not safe after all.
Illness in Ruatha. Lord Giarnon and family fall ill.
News out of Healer Hall is tentative but good. It seems anyone who has caught the sickness and survived will not get infected again. At least not from the plague\\\, though many who get it have a compromised immune system for a while. They still state exhibiting caution when traveling\\\, however\\\, as this is just preliminary data. The current mortality rate from those infected sits at 15%.
Healers are noticing those who have gotten sick once don't get sick again\\\, at least not from the sickness.
Lord Devaki of High Reaches Hold has shut down his Hold's docks\\\, although he ''is''\\\, reportedly\\\, allowing local ships an opportunity to resupply under strict quarantine. It seems his children have been sent into isolation\\\, though he himself remains visible: business as usual\\\, nothing wrong here. For the moment\\\, no cases have been reported in the northern hold. Perhaps they'll end up being lucky.
There's no plague at High Reaches Hold\, but precautions are in place nonetheless.
The news is bad from Ruatha. The drums sound before dawn on day 26. Lord Giarnon was the last of the family to succumb to the illness and the last to die. Ruatha is left in the care of their steward\\\, a man who only recently succeeded the last upon his all too recent death (due to plague). Overall\\\, there are fewer deaths in Ruatha than there were in Southern Boll and more of the ill are reported to be recovering.
The Lord Holder and his family have died of plague.
The news is worse from Fort Hold. There are those who were willing to foster a tentative hope that the Hold's quarantine measures were working\\\, but those hopes are dashed on day 24\\\, month 4 when drums tell the illness has come to Fort Hold. Mid-morning on day 26\\\, month 4\\\, there's a curt message: the Holding family is ill.
Plague comes to Fort Hold and infects their Lord and family.
Hardest hit of the High Reaches Holds\\\, Nabol has reportedly seen the plague spread from one end to the other; few holds within the region can claim to be without fatality. Initially\\\, regular reports on the continued health of Lady Tevrane and her family with disseminated\\\, as if to bring comfort to the people of the region; as of day 26\\\, however\\\, these have all stopped. Does that mean the family are no longer safe? Or is it just considered gauche to say as much when so many are dead and dying? Several minor holds have closed their doors even to dragonrider assistance\\\, hanging black flags from their heights in warning: don't come near.
The plague hits hard through the Nabol region.
Cases of plague are on the rise at High Reaches Weyr\, though most can be counted from the self-proclaimed \'plague wing\' and the healers and resident volunteers who care for the ill. %r%rThere are notable exceptions\, of course-- for one\, there\'s the half of Equinox wing who decided to share a cask of beer\, shared glasses\, and then ended up in the infirmary. Cases like \'\'this\'\' have been resoundingly decried-- all of High Reaches has been reminded that quarantine exists for a reason\, and all possible measures should be taken to avoid spreading the disease any further. %r%rThe Weyr\'s sick\, although initially kept in their own private quarters where possible\, have now taken over the infirmary\, and into the dragon infirmary. Only craft-sanctioned healers and their trained - admittedly\, often hastily trained - assistants are permitted within. %r%rThe situation is not \'\'dire\'\'\, but inevitably\, deaths are on the rise. Everyone is expected to spend as little time in public places as possible; everyone is expected to practice vigilance.
Although not badly hit\\\, High Reaches Weyr sees a rise in plague cases.
Although High Reaches Hold has been largely protected from the plague thus far\\\, reports from Balen now suggest that that luck may not hold forever. An incident of a ship bypassing all attempts to prevent it from mooring was reported more than a sevenday ago-- now\\\, the first cases of plague have begun to be reported. The hold has closed its doors and will accept no aid or support: it sounds like things are very bad indeed.
Balen closes its doors completely with cases of plague reported.
The Blooded Holders of Fort Hold aren't the first to die within the Hold of the disease. Holding out til the last\\\, Vaion is the last of his family to succumb to the illness. A pair of assistant stewards have become the go-to for the interim. Fewer new cases are occurring\\\, so some might hope the end is in sight.
Fort Hold's Lord Holder and family are dead along with others.
The infirmaries are finally emptying in Fort Weyr! Those last taken ill are on the mend enough to be sent home. Healers stress to continue preventative measures and\\\, particularly\\\, for those volunteering outside the Weyr to be mindful of any symptoms lest a second wave of the illness occur\\\, but it seems like Fort can start ordering the chaos that this emergency has caused.
Nabol's Steward dies as the plague continues.

In Nabol\\\, the plague continues to rage\\\, with reports of more deaths in minor holds and Nabol itself. One of the latest deaths is that of Tevrane's Steward\\\, the man who has been keeping the Hold going while the Lady herself continues in exclusion with her family\\\, and ''that'' has caused more than a little grumbling. Why should she save herself at the expense of her staff? Her people?
Although Crom has managed fairly well to keep the plague from flooding its borders\\\, the illness has reached the main Hold in dribs and drabs. Restrictive to the point of military law\\\, Aughan's response has been to shut everything down\\\, a ruling that has not won him many friends\\\, but ''does'' seem to have made a difference in limiting the disease from spreading any further.
High Reaches' healers are cautiously pleased: there have been no new cases of the plague at High Reaches in a sevenday\\\, now\\\, and with the coverage area also seeming to be on the mend\\\, ''perhaps'' that means the end of it. If they're lucky.
The plague seems to be dying out at High Reaches Weyr.
Finally\\\, nearly half way through month six\\\, and with no new cases in the regions immediately surrounding it\\\, Crom cautiously reopens its borders. Losses have been minimal; rumour has it the plague was aggressively contained\\\, often in a way that showed no empathy. It was arguably a success\\\, though\\\, and the region now stands in a much better position than many around them. One death does stand out as notable\\\, however: Lord Aughan's daughter\\\, Haille\\\, who ''someone'' managed to contract the illness despite all measures to protect her\\\, and died partway through month five. Lady Ienavi is said to have claimed that her daughter was deliberately infected\\\, and though many have dismissed this as simply grief\\\, there has been some discussion about the possibility. ''Could'' someone have deliberately tried to kill off the Cromese ruling family? In any case\\\, more than one person has commented that it least it was the ''daughter'' and not the son.
Crom reopens its borders following the plague.
Zaisavyth rises to confirm Mirinda and N'rov as Fort's new Weyrleaders.
Though the first Hold to be hit with the plague\\\, things have been slow going for finding a replacement for Lady Jenilynn. Finally\\\, on day 20\\\, month 7\\\, the most likely heir apparent\\\, a man named Tavish\\\, arrives at the Hold. He's quick to get to work with the Hold's steward\\\, with some mention of family to follow. The most common rumor to be had is that the reason it took so long for him to arrive at the Hold is that he was among the survivors of the plague and his convalescence delayed his relocation.
Heir apparent Tavish arrives at Southern Boll Hold.
Rumors are abounding from Ruatha. Prospective heirs (plural) have begun to arrive. By day 23\\\, there are three\\\, by day 26 that number has doubled. Evidently\\\, Giarnon's succession isn't as clear as some might wish\\\, and as a result those who stand a chance of becoming the confirmed Holder have begun to flock to the Hold to 'assist' with reparations in the area. While Ruatha isn't in a position to turn away help\\\, some wonder if so many cooks in the kitchen will be more trouble than aid to the Hold. Only time will tell.
Prospective heirs begin to arrive at Ruatha Hold.
Though recovery efforts continue at Southern Boll Hold under the combined guidance of heir apparent\\\, Tavish\\\, and the Hold's steward\\\, there's concern growing about fall harvests as a number of crops have failed. Rumor has it that Tavish has written to the Weyrleader and Weyrwoman of Fort to request assistance in expediting the clearing the fields so a late planting can occur in hopes of replacing some of what was lost.
Tavish requests aid from the Weyr in clearing failed crops.
In the past two sevens\\\, there's been a lot of careful political maneuvering entwined with restoration efforts in Ruatha. It becomes apparent that a charismatic young nephew of Giarnon's named Baliol has garnered a great deal of support despite others having slightly stronger Blood claim. Rumors whisper that Baliol's family lacks nothing in the way of ''influence'' and maybe that's how he's become the favorite.
Giarnon's nephew\\\, Baliol\\\, becomes apparent 'favorite' for heir apparent.
Fort Hold is getting a late start in finding an heir. Still vigilant for any signs of the infection cropping up again (despite the fact that there have been no new cases in quite some time)\\\, their restoration efforts lag without true leadership. With a Conclave meeting anticipated at the beginning of month 9\\\, they'll have to get a move on in finding names to put forth for consideration if they want a Holder confirmed before harvest time.
Fort Hold lags behind in the search for an heir.
Healer Hall officially concludes the plague has ended with the last remaining sick person at Nerat Hold having passed on under quarantine. Healers are instructed to be on the look out\\\, but the entirety of the northern continent can breathe easier for the time being.
Official end of plague decreed by the Hall.
The Holders' Conclave met on day 1\\\, month 9\\\, turn 39. Among the items on the agenda was the proposed confirmation of Tavish as the new Lord Boll. With very few dissenting votes\\\, he was confirmed\\\, making his wife\\\, now Lady Mabry\\\, a happy woman. Tavish is known to have one sixteen turn old son from his first marriage and a daughter\\\, Maradesh\\\, by Mabry. It remains to be seen if his son\\\, Lezio\\\, will be named heir.
The Conclave confirms Tavish as Lord Boll.
The Holders' Conclave met on day 1\\\, month 9\\\, turn 39. Among the items on the agenda was the proposed confirmation of Baliol as the new Lord Ruatha. Baliol's wasn't the only name presented\\\, but after some debate and votes\\\, Baliol was confirmed as Lord Ruatha. Given that he's in his mid-twenties\\\, charismatic and single\\\, many parents of eligible Blooded daughters are thrilled at the prospect of alliance.
The Conclave confirms Baliol as Lord Ruatha.
The Holders' Conclave met on day 1\\\, month 9\\\, turn 39. Among the items on the agenda was the matter of Fort Hold's succession. Though some names were presented\\\, two factions emerged in debate: those who wished to vote and have the matter settled and those who wanted more information on the likely candidates. In the end\\\, no vote was taken to confirm a new Lord or Lady at this time. In the meantime\\\, the Hold's affairs continue to be managed by one of the surviving stewards.
The Conclave meets but does not confirm a Lord or Lady.
Rumors come from Fort Hold: an heir apparent has arrived. Cyrek\\\, annoyingly good looking in his early twenties with the same blonde hair and light eyes as Astivan and charming to boot\\\, presented himself to the steward managing the Hold's affairs. Wagging tongues and swooning women does not a solid claim make\\\, however\\\, and there are those that say his is far from sure.
After a group of High Reachians assisted with the harvest\\\, a small hold to the distant south of Nabol's coverage area turned around and handed their tithe directly to the Weyr\\\, claiming that Tevrane's lack of support (and High Reaches' proactive support) has forced them to deal with the Weyr directly. Although weyrwoman Farideh instructed those riders present to bring the tithe back to the Weyr\\\, it remains to be seen what will happen with it from here. Increasingly\\\, it seems the Nabolese holds are unhappy with their Lady\\\, though Tevrane herself shows no signs of acknowledging their unrest.
Signs of dissent become obvious in the Nabol region.
It hasn't been news to those in the upper levels of leadership that the Weyrwoman has been somewhat distracted since the plague's ending\\\, though much of the Weyr itself is running smoothy even without her full attention. But it does come as a surprise when the goldrider is seen packing a small bag and spending an entire day in conversation with the Headwoman\\\, Weyrleader\\\, and Farideh on the third. An announcement is made at dinner from the leadership dais\\\, where the notoriously private Weyrwoman shares some details of her life\\\, including the fact that her father passed at the end of the plague and that has left her immediate family of traders in upheaval\\\, and that with no problems on the horizon (dundundun)\\\, the Weyrwoman is taking some personal time in order to help sort out the mess. Some of those who have spent any time at Igen will have heard rumors that Irianke's station as an Igen goldrider was instrumental in helping establish her family as a preeminent trading family in the region. What a ''Reachian'' goldrider can do in this situation is a different matter\\\, but blood is thicker than water\\\, right? In the end\\\, it seems Farideh will be considered the acting Weyrwoman under K'del's guidance while Irianke deals with her family matters.
Irianke goes on hiatus leaving Farideh as Acting Weyrwoman.
Despite the arrival of the self-proclaimed heir of Fort\\\, Cyrek\\\, much of Fort Hold's affairs still seem to be managed by the steward\\\, as it has been since Vaion passed. Gossip circulates a number of plausible explanations from the steward enjoying his brief taste of power too much to wondering if Cyrek's apparent concern with endearing himself to his people doesn't extend to also working for them. Perhaps there's a simpler explanation though; perhaps Cyrek simply isn't able to substantiate his claim.
Cyrek's claim to the Lordship remains unsubstantiated.
Just before the end of the Turn\\\, an intimate party was held\\\, whereupon the news that heir Matthias's daughter Eirlone was officially betrothed to her cousin of some degrees\\\, Hulen. The young boy's growth has been watched by many in the upper echelon of Benden's holders and the general consensus is one of a child who is markedly slower than others while Eirlone\\\, at just over a turn\\\, has been determined to be precocious.
Betrothal of Hulen to Eirlone announced at a small party.
Spring has sprung in the Nabol area\\\, the heir has turned twelve and now... word is that young Eriskel has been making visits outside of the Hold\\\, accompanied by one or both of his parents\\\, and very occasionally his grandmother. Reactions seem to be generally positive; Eriskel is considered a thoughtful boy\\\, if over-enthusiastic at times\\\, and seems to take a genuine interest in the work going on around him.
Nabol's young heir begins visiting the minor holds.
Aidavanth and Akluseth's clutch adds thirteen new dragons to HRW's roster... or perhaps Monaco's.
