The Pollened Plague

A sudden bloom of bright yellow flowers around the city walls has released clouds of golden pollen. At first, it only causes sneezing fits and watery eyes—but soon, those exposed begin to suffer vivid hallucinations and strange compulsions. Trace the source of the enchanted plants, survive a city half-mad with visions, and find a cure before the next windstorm spreads the plague for miles.
