== Topography ==
Thessilane is an authentic seaport territory within the [[Beradt Sea|Beradt coastal plain]] of the [[Amasynian Province|Amasynian peninsula]] of [[Trae Kelsa]], characterized by a large fishing fleet and working waterfront, covering hundreds of square miles. Some of the region is difficult to travel due to steep, rock formed hills that occupy a good portion of its western and south central areas. However, the northern regions bordering [[New Dauntless]] are famed for their meadowland, as is the region to the west of the [[Red Hills]] and south of [[Lake Mist]].

== Location ==
Thessilane is located on the south coast of the [[Amasynian Province]]. Greater Thessilane is an area of superlatives -- the tastiest seafood, the best waterways, and the friendliest people. The quality of life is maintained by a variety of cultural, economic, geographic, and educational advantages. Thessilane is rich in heritage, opportunity, and history. The area is comprised of several small communities, some of which are dwarven, each of which adds its own distinct flavor.

== Climate ==
The normal temperature in January is 30.6 degrees; in July, it's 73.5 degrees. In summer, during periods of high pressure, Thessilane residents can almost depend on the regular arrival of cooling southwesterly breezes that come ashore just after noon and abate in the early evening. This area receives an average of 47.3" rain per year. In winter, this territory experiences less snowfall on average because of the milder ocean water temperatures.

== Travel and Trade Routes ==
One route that allows for east-west travel at the southern end of [[Myrken Wood]] called [[Derry Row]] is a 'safe road' for those going back and forth from the eastern sea coast all the way to [[Amasynia]]. Throughways that see travelers from Thessilane to [[New Dauntless]] are accessible once more, following the withdrawal of military personnel, at the cessation of hostilities from [[New Dauntless]].

== Public Service ==
The main defense comes from the [[Army of the Meadowlands]], commanded by [[Burel Tassnehof|Duke Burel]] himself. Three other armies exist under various nobles and generals. Policing is done by the army or local militia.

== News ==
News is supplied via word of mouth and various publications throughout Thessilane and its boundaries.

== Leisure Activities ==
Thessilane's coastline is alive with activity. Shipbuilders are in abundance and nested among the many coastal beaches, the largest of which is a nine mile strip called [[Orvere Beach]]. [[Orvere]], a major seaport, is host to many businesses and recreational spots.

Located directly beneath the [[Lake Mist]], at the [[Red Hills]], is one of Thessilane's most populated areas. Within 24,000 acres of marshes and mud flats surrounding these uplands, fortress homes are contained.

Thessilane is home to a nearly 600 acre salt water lake. There are several beaches for access to this water. Bordering residents gave Lake Mist its name for its mystical morning fog that hovers over the water. Lore is that the fog's red hue is a reflection of the Hills beneath it.

== Local Economy ==
As the industrial development of Thessilane absorbed a portion of [[New Dauntless]]'s industry, the community has increased its worth in shipping and iron manufacturing.

The Bloody Flux (Plot)

2006-05-21T18:23:08Z

65.188.188.247: /* The Insects */

The '''Bloody Flux''' is a disease which struck the territory of [[Myrken Wood]] during the summer months of 205 [[Anno Regalis|AR]]. Its origins are unknown, although inquiries have revealed that the illness is endemic to Myrken Wood. Whether the insects which spread it also are, remains a matter of speculation.

==The Insects==

The disease-transmitting bugs are described as pitch-black and winged, measuring slightly larger than a man's thumb. It could be mistaken for an oversized -- and zealous -- wasp, sporting a half-inch stinger. Upon death, the insect's entire body collapses into black dust. It has been assumed that the insect does not function as a traditional vector, which would convey infection from one host to another -- but that it independantly transmits the disease to its victims.

==The Disease==

It is initially possible to mistake the Flux for a nasty case of the flu -- but within days, those traditional symptoms have become far less benign. Blood begins to show at each cough, coughs evolve into vomiting, until the point at which blood is leaking from most, if not all, of the body's orifices. Death often follows swiftly, although several have survived the Flux, most of them with the aid of the [[Rememdium Edificium]].

==Progression==

* '''April 25, 205''' [[Anno Regalis|AR]]: The first victim of the Flux was [[Cheswick Valladay]], a member of the [[Order of Straka]]. By the afternoon following being stung, he'd been coughing; very soon, he'd begun to vomit great amounts of blood. Within twelve days, he perished due to loss of blood, his illness attributed to disease. His body was cremated.

* '''April 26, 205''' AR: [[Ariane Carnath-Emory]] admitted to the [[Rememdium Edificium]] subsequent to vomitting blood on the [[Broken Dagger (Inn)|Broken Dagger]] floor.

* '''April 27, 205''' AR: [[Governor]] [[Altias Bromn]] succumbs. [[Sawyer]] is conveyed to the [[Rememdium Edificium|Rememdium]] by [[Darrin]]. The illness, previously unnamed, is now widely referred to as the Bloody Flux.

* '''April 28, 205''' AR: [[Lothbury]] Estate quarantines itself, chaining closed its great iron gates, and erecting a barrier of tables, benches and broken doors behind its own walls -- as if to prevent both entry and escape. Rumours follow of bloodshed and screams during the night, of fields both torn and ruined; by day, great plumes of smoke can be seen rising, presumably from funeral pyres upon Lothbury farmland.

* [[Darrin]] supplies Doctor [[David D'Rael|D'Rael]] with several of the living insects for examination, and advises they be handled with a falconer's glove. The research continues.

* '''May 12, 205''' AR: The Flux is widely believed to be at an end. The final toll is something more than twenty persons deceased, and many more suffering through the illness's last stages. Further struggle with complications caused by it, and many of the healthy have begun to leave supplies for Doctor [[David D'Rael|D'Rael]] upon the [[Rememdium Edificium|Rememdium]]'s doorstep.
