Blood Veil

Description
(From Pathfinder #7 - Seven Days to the Grave) Blood Veil takes its name from its most apparent symptom, a rash and mask of blisters that covers the face. In its initial stages, the disease is characterized by headache, fatigue, coughing, and the aforementioned rash. As it progresses, the cough becomes more obtrusive, the rash spreads to the neck, face, and limbs and develops into pox-like blisters, and the lymph glands swell into painful buboes. At its most advanced stage, the blisters grow to the size of grapes or larger, internal bleeding creates black patches on the skin, and blood is expectorated. Ultimately, a most unseemly, wheezing death occurs. If left untreated, blood veil kills the average human in approximately 7 days.

History
Your first contact with Blood Veil was young Brienna Soldado. Soon afterwards you noticed more people around the city exibiting the symptoms, and several of you have already been cured for the disease.

The disease seems to spread very quickly and dispite the quarentine measures taken, the disease seems relentless and its spread is still unchecked. Physical contact with the sick is definetly a cause of the disease and coming into contact with bodily fluids also seems to be a factor, but there are still cases where people are falling ill without having been near the sick. While most social classes have seen cases, the city's poor clearly seems to take the heaviest casualties

Several cases have emerged where people have been trying to sell cures to Blood Veil, but with through alchemical analysis, none of these have been proven to be anything more than fakes. The most famous case was with the well known perfumist Vendra Loaggri

Several groups have been suspected of being the source of the plague, including rogue druids, native Varisians and Korvosas native population of Wererats, but despite rumors and tavern talk, none have been proved.

Its origins and why it is speading so rapidly is yet unknown and no known cure exists (apart from magical curation).
