There were times in history where the incessant battles between humans and elves were eclipsed by threats far greater, threats that transcended species rivalry and instilled fear in the hearts of every sentient being.

One such threat was the Virulent Blight - a viral menace that was not only deadly, but its outbreak patterns were unpredictable, and its gene continually mutated. Its capricious nature meant that although some of the gathered participants may have researched the virus previously, it was highly likely that the strain introduced by the Maestro at this moment was unique and unknown.

This means the first objective of the challenge was to understand and identify this particular strand of the virus. This task itself presented an unprecedented trial as the sample of the virus lay protected within a glass fortress.
