The Chancellor

My Lords,

I wish to briefly address the issue of the Black Death and quarantine.

I will do everything in my power to prevent nobles of this Reich from contracting the disease, BUT it is extremely infectious and it does spread of it's own accord.

The main issue I face it that our Regiments do not necessarily show any sign of infection once they have left their recruiting grounds. Plus the only way to determine if they are infected once they are in the field is to keep track of where they were recruited from in the first place.

Therefore I hope you can all understand my position should anyone become infected by mistake.
