Y.1335
My name is Marcus Theroux deLamange Montier. I have decided to keep a log of my journey to the east. Under the sponsorship of Lord Phillip of Valois, I am heading to the eastern country to catalog the species of flora and fauna of the region.
As I am writing this I am traveling across what the local denizens call, the silk road, I found a merchant who charged a fair rate for me to travel along with him to a place called China.
Many things have happened these past years. For one, the plagues have been quelled. A young doctor by the name of Xin came with a miraculous medicine that seemed to both cures and prevents the plague. But, a decision had to be made concerning the myriad of sick that still perpetrate.
The sick and unfortunate were rounded up and sent to exile where the plague started, England. They have been locked away behind huge iron walls. It was a lengthy process, but it was for the good of the rest of us.
Luckily being under the employ of Lord Philip, I was granted a dose of the medicine before succumbing to my sickness.
