The Nebankh Plague was a series of individual plagues stemming from one curse. It began in Cordor, in the later part of A.R. 90 and ended in the first quarter of A.R. 91. Among the notable helpers, was the Order of the Lantern faction that was newly arisen. A group dedicated to defeating evil and that general paladin-esque ideal. Much of the information in this writing comes from the notes of Fenton Fizzlebiscuits, a member of the Order.

The beginning of the Plagues started when some manner of Magus disrupted the process of the Nebankh Crypt afterlife rituals. The identity of this defiler remains unknown. From the disruption of this, which included the sapping of energy from a light that allows the deceased Mulhorandi to go to the afterlife, came the following plagues:

The undead incursion. This has not been cured completely, noticeable from the increased amount of ghosts that roam the woods, and the skeletons that sometimes arise in the sewers.

An asp invasion. Sand pits would almost randomly appear throughout the City, bringing these poisonous snakes slithering out of them, attacking denizens.

A scarab invasion followed the asps, more annoying and just as deadly and poisonous. Mechanical scarabs are used to guard the inside of the Nebankh Tomb.

The 'most dangerous' plague involved a Disease, with such a myriad of symptoms there is no room for it to be listed here. Divine prayers of removing disease were distributed by the City's priests, helping to combat it. However, due to the Dsease seemingly spreading via water, fighting it was almost impossible. The City's reserves were tainted, water becoming blackened. Indeed, this also helped to lead to the removal of the well that used to be in the Temple District. One day, it became so backed up with sewage and sick, that it simply exploded into a volcano of sickly green slime and waste. Naturally it was removed as a safety hazard.

The final invasion was a plague of locusts on Cordor's crops. Almost all of the crops that were in the Northern Outskirts were eaten before the locusts could be repelled with fire and people. The City has since recovered from this devastation, though.

In order to alleviate the problems, concerned individuals sought out the Nebankh Crypt, which was the epicenter of the curse. Within, a divine Guardian of Mulhorandi origin stated to the individuals the taint the defiler had placed upon the tomb.

Instructions were delivered: Find the defiler, sacrifice them to the afterlife ritual light. If the person was not to be found, someone with an equal taint of necromancy upon their soul was sufficient. If nothing was done, and the City decided to endure the plagues, which was stated it was possible, many hundreds would die- but they could have rebuilt. Or, they could have sacrificed a relatively innocent individual only because they had the taint of necromancy upon their soul. This moral dilemma stared down the people of the City.

As most conflicts of the isle, taking battle the Guardian was proposed. Fighting and winning against the Guardian would result in the Mulhorandi buried there who had not yet gone to the afterlife to be damned. This was decided upon as a necessary sacrifice to save the City's people. Aid was beseeched by any lingering spiritsof the Cordor Family Tomb, and the spirit of Lady Cordor, the embodiment of remaining protective Wills of the City's past leaders was summoned. Should a better summoner have been brought, she would be able to fight and aid in battle against the Mulhorandi Guardian.

Some individuals offered themselves up for sacrifice. Kainda Ogden comes to the mind- but, she lacked the taint required upon her soul to be sufficient. She was a goodly priestess of Chauntea, and would never have used necromancy in a sort of evil manner that was required. Adel Xal'rith, however, had in the past been known to be a necromancer of the animating type. She offered herself as a sacrifice to the betterment of the City.

However, before she could do this. Marsael Enderson, another member of the Order of the Lantern, took it upon herself to confront Jinn Nibaru and Harley inside the tomb. Jinn was a suitable sacrifice, and after the confrontation Marsael slew him as a sacrifice. Harley was knocked out and unable to defend her friend. The curse was lifted with this sacrifice. However, due to Marsael technically breaking the law, i.e. committing Murder, she faced a six-month exile which was the minimum at the time. The writer now regrets this decision, and wishes to offer an apology to Marsael should she ever read this.

The City, after this, was able to resume daily life and rebuild and recover after months of enduring the plagues.
