Yellow Plague
In 17 AN a peasant caught a mysterious discease, this peasant died shortly after though. The infected develop coughing and sneezing symptoms at first, however shortly after symptoms can also involve: insomnia, organ failure, rashes, painful blisters, paranoia, bleeding from orficices and/or seizures, nearly all of these symptoms can cause death. This discease burned out quickly though, killing people to fast and losing all of its hosts before spreading to new ones
It is rumored that a new strain of yellow plague is prescent in Fedria and some of Sweden, Artemisia already has closed their borders to these two countries and every person coming in or out must be checked for signs of this new yellow plague.

Symptoms
Insomnia, organ failure, rashes, painful blisters, paranoia, bleeding from orficices and/or seizures, no other symptoms have been documented though there could have been many more.
