[ Something isn't right-- no, something hasn't been right, and she should have known. If only she hadn't been so busy with her own tasks. But not long after the outbreak starts and a commotion goes up, she know. She is no stranger to this particular brand of undeath. When Alexstrasza addresses the network, her voice is level, her tone stern, but her face shows an undercurrent of disappointment, failure, and concern. ]

Transports of Exsilium, the creatures you have so graciously taken into your homes as of a few days ago are not what they appear. If they have not already, they will be begin to act strangely and become increasingly more ill, until they pass on and mutate into what many of them have already become: put simply, undead.

It pains me to say there is very little that can be done for them, save to spare them their suffering. Avoid being bitten at all costs, and be cautious of what you eat or drink. If you have already been bitten, then you will be subject to the same fate, if you do not find a holy healer as soon as humanly possible. Even then...

To the priests and holy magic users of Exsilium, I implore you, help your fellows. If you find yourself tired, come see me at the clinic and I will aid you in whatever way I can. I will be doing everything I can to create a shelter there for anyone who seeks refuge or may be in need of healing.

[ She looks like she might say something more, but cuts the feed abruptly. ]

[[ ooc: anyone who comes by the clinic will find at LEAST one very large red dragon hovering overhead. Feel free to hit me up via pm if you want to arrange anything or if I have stepped on any toes. ]]

If not them, then who?

[life_binder]

If you come to the clinic, then I will explain everything.

[draconic_historian]

Very well, it would not do to have the humanoids die off to this plague.

[He does, descending carefully on the roof so as to minimize damage and looking about for Alexstrasza's elf form, if her draconic form is not immediately obvious.]

[life_binder]

[ Well, shortly after her post is concluded, she's hovering above the clinic in dragonform, so... ]

I had hoped it wouldn't come to this.

[draconic_historian]

But it seems it has. What is "this", though? The more I know the more I may be able to do.

[life_binder]

Given the situation, I don't think it possible to give an truly accurate history.

[ Because really, how to put this simply? Now is not exactly a good moment for a history lesson, and she's never had a reason to explain this to anyone outside of her own realm. ]

I believe this to be the work of a human from my world, named Arthas Menethil. Eventually he would become entangled with a being called the Lich King, whose most devastating achievement was this plague of undeath. The pain, the death, the destruction it has wrought is monumental... [ To that, she gives a regretful snort. ] Until now, I had hoped the Arthas brought to us would not be quite so corrupted as to attempt something like this, but it seems as though that hope was in vain.

[draconic_historian]

All accounts suggest that Lichs are problematic, yes. But if we're dealing with necromancy then I think I may be able to do something about it.

[life_binder]

What are you suggesting?

[draconic_historian]

Wards.

A simple, inexpensive method for detecting and slowing down the undead. It is possible to even destroy lesser undead. I can maintain many at once, depending on how strong you want them to be.
