Cholera Outbreak

The Cholera Outbreak of Twenty Years ago was an outbreak of the infectious disease cholera that swept through The Known Continent. Originating somewhere beyond The Stone Mountains, the disease was brought to Murcia accidentally by traders who spread it quickly across the country. As a respiratory disease, cholera targeted the young, old, and those with pre-existing conditions, and the epidemic killed an estimated 20,000-50,000 Murcians over a two year period, making it the single deadliest historical event since the Civil War a century prior.

Among the victims of the cholera outbreak was a little girl named Alex who lived with her parents in a large house in the woods outside of Winksomsin.
