Everything is calm, now. People are still sick, but no one is dying. My forest is on the verge of meeting our borders, but that won't happen for a couple more days.
I took the day off after seeing that my apprentices were safe and sound. We all got together to hang out, not exactly the plans Tiddol and I came up with for a party, but close enough. We did play board games, though that was mostly because it was the only thing Tiddol and I had managed to set up before everything went down. We did get to play the new version of the civilization builder game like I had wanted to, though I didn't get to practice with it before hand like I had planned. I still managed to win with a magic victory, but that is mostly due to an amazing starting location.

I did hear that it has been more or less confirmed that this was an attack, something about the disease being too streamlined. I know I should care, and I will probably be outraged in a couple days as the will of the masses influences me, but for now I am too emotionally drained to feel anything about that.
