The plague is currently being carried by tributary caravans from Tarmoth to elsewhere. They do not know of it, but they herald their own destruction. We will be like the Horsemen of Old, those who birthed the apocalypse upon these lands. As such, it is in our best interest to leave the kingdom until the plague has done its work. Make sure no man of yours has inherited the disease before departing."
