I didn't recieve the boots from you, I thought I had made a mistake and mixed up two games
. I'll chalk it up to a corrupt turn I suppose.
As for other odd things happening this turn, I thought I was lucky. I have order1 and luck1, and I managed to get 3 good events this turn. My assumptions of my luck were shattered though, as when I checked my provinces, nearly 90% of all my mages got either diseased or mute. Even one that had just been recruited! Oddly enough, the ones spared from disease were already insane from R'lyeh. Even my poor poor advanced scout, Leric, who isn't even old, has two afflictions. Doomed to die far away from his home ground
.
Does blood hunting increase your chances of getting afflictions? My blood economy is about to die of natural causes
