"We do not need magic to change the world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better." J.K. Rowling
Plague in Thrace
For centuries the three southern domains have been at odds, but they’ve never engaged in outright war. Just over twenty years ago, however, a plague started that affected all three kingdoms. At first it was on a fairly small scale, but it began to accelerate. It is nearly always fatal to those it infects, but those who survive suddenly find themselves without any magic at all. And it only infects magical people, though this is the only common thread that has been found among victims of the plague.
Five years into the plague, just as it was beginning to truly accelerate, the southern domains decided that they might need to work together to stop this thing. None of their solo efforts have done anything to stop it, though they have slowed it somewhat. They met in councils to discuss their mutual problem and eventually discovered that the nonmagical were not affected at all. They suspected that Shyr to the north might be involved; they are a people immune to magic, and those rare victims of the plague who survive become not only nonmagical, but immune to magic in much the same way.
There are legends about a powerful magic that can stop any threat--but it requires the magic of all three domains to retrieve it. And, unfortunately, it is found north of the mountains--whoever seeks it must cross through Shyr to find it. The domains began to discuss allying to find it, but negotiations didn’t move forward very far because they could not agree on how to share the power.
The domains have also been arranging betrothals in an attempt to strengthen their alliances, but these talks are slow too; knowing how different their people are, they have been loathe to rush it and force betrothed couples together when they might find themselves incompatible with one another.
However, recently the plague has stepped into overdrive, and the barely-contained panic in the domains has begun to boil over. Something must be done.
