I'm still thinking on the rest (so funny that there is a 5000 character translation limit on each post and your post ended up with a word count of 2097
...go Lord Punctual!), but a thought popped into my head (yep, it happens sometimes
!) and I had to bring it out into the light.
I find it interesting that The Blood Plague has never seemed to come into contention anywhere as a possible reason for the demise of Elderlings/dragons...hmm...a number of people in Bingtown etc died from a wave of it (all of the Vestrit sons, Davad Restart's wife etc), and it was considered by many that the source of the plague was the Rain Wilds. Could there have been an earlier epidemic, possibly even brought about by the changes in the river/volcanic activity? SO MUCH to think about...! ***off to the Kindle Store to buy the LST for Blood Plague research!***
