[Solo] All is Quiet - Georgie The Elixir of Life
The journal of Dr. Adlam, self-titled Plagueologist. The ability to create everything from nothing is a truly romantic idea, but impossible for the face of mankind... it is a thing that even Obscuvos cannot do, for he must take the Remnants of this world and devour the rest to complete his quest for perfection. That is Paradise. It is because of Obscuvos that I do not believe in the simple God that even simpler people deviate into, as if the Truth was lost to them right after they were born, and so they pitifully stray to a religion that does nothing but question. Life is a short thing, which has been ever more clearly evidenced by this Black Death, a disease that I've had the fortune of avoiding in my long 50 years of life. I grew tired of questions as a young child. Obscuvos has given me the answers to realize the importance of living, and that is where I draw this circle of conclusions-- I have found the ability to create everything from nothing.
At first, the idea was simple: How do you extract the purest Plague from such human essences? Though the Plagues are denoted as something of an anomaly outside of the human race, its attached to them in more ways than many might fathom. I have much to learn before debunking the nature of the Excitos and Anhelos, for I am still too inadequate but nearly successful in catching up with the Plague Doctor's works, in theory, but to start first at the Putesco has reaped more benefits than I had first theorized. This Putesco is a magnet of attention, and I believe that Panymium itself has been infected with one Putesco itself, a mass as big as the land we stand on. The nature of these waning Plagues is like an attracting force, much like the Planes the Mages have talked about for centuries. The greater the presence of a Plague the greater the force, and to consciously recognize each Plague is like sticking several needles into one pin cushion and, for some reason I am still unsure of, exacting the location of the Plague has given me more insight on the Grimms that own them than anything else. I was struck with inspiration.
That was a year ago, however, and it was only on the ides of March that I had collected enough information. With fifty of my most trusted men, I started a trial in experiments pertaining to the existence of these Grimms. I recreated the Furvus Elixir from my own hands-- extracted (but, in theory, still too impure to be 100 percent Plague) Putesco essence that came from my own failed experiments and sacrificed items from across Panymium. While I have said time and time again that there are only around two thousand Grimms in question, there are nearly quadruply so the amount of potential Plagues. Each and every one of these Putescos without an owner befit making an Elixir extraction far better than one with a Grimm, strangely, though I have yet to find the answer to this strange founding. I sent out an exact number of messengers to each and every one of these Grimms from the information I knew, retrieved by some fervent studying and frequent check-ups of the Grimms around the continent, whether they knew of it or not.
While I planned on doing much, much more than that, the rest was simply observation. At first, I remedied my curiosity of what happened to these messages by sending out a few men to each outpost where a Grimm might be, where they studied them for a few weeks, the same thing we have done for twelve months before the resulting experiment. Little did I expect the sudden on-surge of violent reactions from the collected Putesco nor the events to come, many of which was more contained than the Grimms would suspect. Evidence was hard to collect, but many of the Grimms and their Plagues were haunted by hallucinations and effects thereafter of receiving the message sent by me and my men, none of which expected. This, essentially, ruined a vast majority of my experiments, and I was left to simply collect data and wait for the tide to end. The tide did not end until it was too late, however.
The crow infestation surrounding the cities were nary cited by many of the civilians save for the Grimms, oddly enough, and many of them started to act... strangely, even those who were under the wings of Obscuvos. I continued to follow and saw many of them seemingly attacking some unseen mass, doing things I could not fathom to imagine the reason for, but when they acted they created things. Beautiful things, mind. The more they tried to fight or keep on contact with something I could not see, the more they created tangible mass. When they acted like they were fending off against an attack, they created dark cloaked images that seemed to reflect the very image of the cultists mirrored in those atrocious Panymese Press propaganda, and when they went to touch something they seemed to create-- crows. These crows, those robed figures, they glowed of the same aura as the Putescos, reeking of the similar filth of the Plagues. These Grimms had the ability to create Putescos out of their own hands.
Out of their own hallucinations, nevertheless, but it seems that they have no power over it. What this doesn't explain, moreover, is why the infestation happened to start right then and, furthermore, why the Grimms and Plagues were struck with a peculiar anomaly... a brief encounter that argued against the very theory that has kept many Plagues from exultation. Their Grimms were struck with the Black Death, though the flash of illness was impermanent. I can find no reasons for this, nor why the Plagues not under the House of Obscuvos seemed to lose their powers and become human in form. The only theory I have as if now is that the very Putescos the Grimms seem to create were remnants of their own Plagues-- another is simply the miasmic effect of the Furvus Elixir, whereupon the use of the Furvus Elixir harms human beings and seems to 'disguise' Anhelos as humans for a brief period of time-- but this instance did much more than just that.
Raiding the Fellowship of Mages in Shyregoed was done to little advantage whatsoever for my cause, though the Furvus Elixir did deem something of a viable weapon for the future. I suspected my partnership with Benedicta Waldgrave to be more fruitful than what I found, a shoddy excuse of a laboratory for the Plagues, one of the few contracts I made with the Grand Magus in exchange for my services. I was further enraged by the sudden presence in doves across the continent, a type of healing order sent out to the Grimms that were not under my superstition. I have yet to get my hands on a copy of these feathers, but these are permanent things that ridicule my studies. Could this be from the Plague Doctor himself? What use would he have of giving these foolish Grimms such instruments of power, and why would he want to rid the Plagues of their blessed powers?
Afterward I issued the collection of these crows and robed figures that the Grimms have been leaving behind, but they were not present in any of the locations I reckoned them to be, another annoying conundrum. I happened on, however, one Grimm who was chased by an enigmatic and perchance invisible figure, whom showed its true face for only an instant-- a bird-headed man. Obscuvos. This enraged me greatly-- how could this have been? Is this a mockery? Obscuvos would nary show his face before the Catalyst, that is what the scriptures say, but before me for that second was a mockery of the Glutton God right before my eyes, until he disappeared once again and the Grimm seemed to keel in on himself, paralyzed.
I left the Grimm alone. I regret this now, but I fear that seeing Obscuvos in such a form was an omen to keep away. I have yet to find the answer to the questions I've posed as a consequence, and this bothers me greatly, but may Obscuvos be with me.
At the beginning of the week, I sent every Grimm with a stock of crows of my own, not ones recreated from the Putesco substance I'd collected, though the parchment in return was copied and manipulated as such. Obscuvos forgive me for using such magic, but it was necessary for such a needy flight. I have sent the purest of the Putesco substances to each and every Grimm. I predict that at least a hundred of the crows will come back to me, for their eyes will let me watch what truly happened to these strange Plaguemongers.
Ad augusta per angusta,
3 May 1411
Dr. Graham Verne Adlam, Plagueology.
