This is the thread for those involved in this subplot to plot and get things started. Let's get the ball rolling and do these subplots! If you would like to be added to character's involved, reply here or in the Subplots main thread.

The plague known as the Sweating Sickness has come to England with the soldiers returned from France. It has struck in years previously and has been seen all over the British Isles as well as the Continent. The Sweat begins very suddenly with some foreboding, followed by cold shivers that can turn violent. An unexplainable giddiness sometimes occurs with a headache, exhaustion, and severe pains in the neck, shoulders and limbs. Hot sweating then follows with an inescapable urge to sleep, and once sleep falls, the victim usually succumbs to the sickness within twenty-four hours, never awakening again. Almost everyone who catches this sickness dies from it, and its victims are usually men. This bout of the Sweat will travel throughout England, being one of the biggest outbreaks England has ever seen.

Remember that almost every person who came down with the Sweat died from it. ;) The only exception I can really think of is Anne Boleyn at the moment IRL, so... Is JShils gonna recover or be all *ded* from it?

I'm killing off one NPC from the Howard clan in this. The fate has pointed to Joyce Leigh. RIP.

I can't kill JShils! He will make a painful and slow recovery.

Ok Shelbs!

This is just a reminder for others, though, that a ton of people won't get it and miraculously recover. Just so ya'll know. ;)

Also, if a character's family member that is an NPC dies, I will be putting your character up there as those involved because their death will affect said character some way. So don't panic and think I've written your character off. XD

If there can be one more survivor, I will volunteer Mary. I was thinking that this might start some drama in the city, which could make for some interesting threads. So we have the commoners kicking the proverbial bucket right and left, and then they hear that the King' sister got sick and survived. Hmmmm, they think. Do those hoity toity royal types have some sort of cure that they're not telling us about? People can be quite superstitious when they are desparate ... and they want that cure (which doesn't really exist). They could start riots, burn buildings, beat up nobles, and/or cause other kinds of trouble … which would, of course, have to be quelled.

Just an idea. :)

I thought I didn't have anyone to kill but I do!! Making Alison's life more miserable by killing her mother and 3 out of 5 cousins XD

Annabel Clifford – Mother
Bridget Harvey – Cousin
Anna Harvey – Cousin
Catherine Harvey – Cousin

Having her mother be sick and die actually helps her so called story about visiting her when she was 'ill' when Alison was at war.

Oh meh godness, I will kill off Daniel's cousin and Danny will inherit the title! I think? Bah humbug, I've forgotten how titles work. Anyway, Daniel will have a relative dying.

The list has been updated with people who are gonna snuff it and the very few that aren't.

And Dan, I believe that Daniel will be kind of Heir Apparent to the title when his cousin dies; however his uncle should be the one retaining the title until he dies. :D
