All those who died were infected with it, their bodies were decaying yet they still fought, it was as if the gods had left the people to suffer..

The kingdom infected, their bodies decaying yet they still move, the mages and scholars tried to stop the infection by creating cures, but they only delayed it they thought they had found a cure but they were infected, the guards killed anyone infected, killing men, women and children upon any sign of infection  but they too were infected, and now only a few cities live, the palace , and everywhere else is filled with guards corrupted by the infection, they tried to stop it but failure was inevitable.
