When the local administrative council (referring to the optimistic forecast of the Eastern District Commission and developments from the Ministry of Railways) decided to lay a railway branch northeast from the Mountain Hub, no one foresaw either terrible events or particular difficulties.
Such a decision had long been supported by the pace of our country's development, as well as very favorable geological exploration data. The rare settlements of this region, mostly formed in the last century, were essentially livestock industrial factories, which only in some places turned into small towns. In these towns, since ancient
times, an unusual and paradoxically diverse society had been forming. Industrialists, ethnographers, inspectors, anthropologists, descendants of political exiles, accidental visitors—educated people in general—peacefully coexisted and even intermarried with the indigenous peoples, whose customs were not far removed from tribal traditions.
Imagine the administration's indignation when news reached the regional center, one after another, about the mysterious disappearance of three trains at once! But the local rulers (more accurately, the factory owners who, taking advantage of their remoteness from the metropolis, held almost unlimited power) completely denied any involvement. They maliciously explained the disappearance of the trains as the evil will of the Steppe, which some local peoples worshipped as their ancient great-mother. What could be done about it?
… Yes, the Northeast branch now deservedly enjoys a bad reputation. Once a month, a regular train thunders along it, led by a frightened engineer. After unloading mail, construction materials, and factory-produced goods in the towns, he takes livestock and meat plant products. Then a half-human climbs aboard the train—a deaf-mute sorcerer, a toothy nomarch trained in mechanical arts. He moves the train through the nocturnal Steppe, stretches his long fingers over it, invokes spirits, mars, and own gods so that the earth does not anger at him who carries away the skins, hooves, and meat of her slain children.
And the Steppe responds with a groan. It breathes red-hot underground steam toward the train, and huge black beasts creep close to the convoy, emerge from the gloom, move alongside the locomotive, step over it, and bow their horned heads toward the roofs of the cars. And they escort the train until the misty outlines of the capital's suburbs appear on the horizon.
Before us is a tragic story about the fate of a city that seems nothing can save. The Sandy Ulcer—an incurable disease that arises from nowhere and vanishes into nowhere—walks through the emptying streets, leaving mountains of corpses behind. Everywhere there is fire, infection, rats... By a twist of fate (or perhaps by divine command?), the destinies of unusual people will intersect here, who are capable of influencing the outcome of events and saving the city.
City:
Bachelor, Daniil Dankovsky
Bachelor of Medical Sciences, a well-known capital scholar. Founder of "Thanatics"—an experimental laboratory researching immortality. Having received a letter about a unique long-liver, he comes to the city to study this man, but upon arriving on site, discovers that he died of an unknown disease. He receives instructions from the authorities to find a way to defeat the disease and prevent an epidemic.
Traits:
Medical education - protection from first infection.
Abilities:
- Doctor's help. Heals target. Can heal himself, but only if infected.
- Rounds. Checks first status. The newspaper displays the target's state (infected or not).
Ult. Antibiotics - gives the player protection from infection for 2 nights; if already infected, this counts as healing (also for 2 nights, but does not save from attack). Can be used with other abilities. Can be used on self.
Status: outsider, non-aggressive.
Haruspex, Artemiy Burakh
Heir to the Menhu—the Servant, he who knows the lines of the body, who has the right to make incisions and knows how to separate the joints of the body so that it is pleasing to the Earth, according to steppe traditions and rituals. At sixteen, he left town to study as a surgeon, only to return ten years later and find that he was no longer a welcome guest, but a dangerous criminal, a ripper, accused of murdering seventeen citizens. His goal is to restore his good name and take the place destined for him.
Traits:
Menhu - has the right to open corpses and extract organs for study. After every three opened corpses of epidemic victims, he can create a panacea—a medicine capable of curing the disease. Creating a panacea consumes one infusion.
Herbalist - knows how to brew special extracts that protect against infection.
Persecuted - if he opens corpses two nights in a row, he loses his voice. If three nights in a row, the next night he will be forced to hide (automatic self-isolation. Does not provide protection from infection, but allows using an infusion on himself).
Tough guy - survives first attack.
Abilities:
- Reveal all lines. Dissects a corpse.
- Father's recipes. Brews infusions based on the number of opened corpses. If three corpses were opened: two infusions and a panacea. Can brew tvirin extract (protection from infection effect) and dead porridge (healing effect, works only against disease, i.e., will not save from attack).
- Use infusion. Consumes one unit. Initial: 0. Can be used on self or given to target. Can be used with other abilities.
- Panacea. Heals the player. Initial: 0. Usage conditions are same as infusions.
Status: local, aggressive.
Imposter, Clara
Regarded by citizens as both a thief and a miracle worker, as a plague and a saint. A girl who appeared from a freshly dug grave simultaneously with the start of the epidemic, drawing suspicion from the superstitious people.

She knows how to use hypnosis to force someone to tell the truth.

Spawn of Earth - cannot be infected.
Faith in miracle - from the third day forms a link with the General.

General, Alexander Blok
Author of a military reform that increases army efficiency at the expense of the military elite's profit. Some describe him as an honest and noble man, a knight; others emphasize his cruelty and ruthlessness. The authorities brought his units into town after successfully completed maneuvers, quickly equipping them with a company of flamethrowers.
Once in town, Blok demonstrates a desire to understand what is happening and not make decisions without figuring things out or listening to specialists' opinions.

Explanations on Traits and Abilities:
1. Disease burns one ability and one trait of the player's choice. If a character has no traits but has abilities—two abilities burn. Upon re-infection, disease progresses twice as fast. A role left without abilities and traits dies.
2. Isolation saves from infection and attack; protection—only from attack.
3. Healing saves after an attack, but does not protect from infection, only weakens its effect for one night (only one ability or trait burns). Does not save Ulcer and Albino.
4. Upon healing, all burned abilities and traits are restored, except spent natural protections.
5. Negative effects refer to block, isolation, redirection, killing, infection, hypnosis.
6. Corpses opened by Haruspex are not related to the death of roles; he can do this regardless of whether murders occurred or not.
7. Haruspex chooses what to brew himself.
8. Having taken Clara under control, Shabnak cannot heal or resurrect; laying on of hands deprives of ability to act regardless of target status.
9. Clara's laying on of hands is not considered a block, i.e., it can deprive unblockable roles of their turn. Clara cannot destroy Ulcer with laying on of hands.
10. Entrepreneur, Faith in miracle, Illusion traits do not burn from disease. A role is considered dead if nothing else remains.
11. Haruspex does not spend infusion or panacea if visiting negatives or those immune to infection. Consequently, they receive nothing from him. The same applies to Bachelor's antibiotics.
12. A player who received an infusion or panacea from Haruspex can use it the next night as an additional action or whenever they wish. The same applies to Bachelor's antibiotics.
13. An action cannot be used on self unless stated otherwise.
14. Unsuccessful infections and kills are not displayed. Ulcer's Ult is displayed as a fact even if it managed to infect no one. Block is displayed in any case.
15. Prophet's hypnosis deprives the target of their vote even if redirection is unsuccessful.
16. Olgimsky does not lose abilities upon infection; same applies to Haruspex using panacea. Nevertheless, they are considered "burnable."
17. Haruspex's skills and abilities are linked, i.e., if the player chooses to burn the Herbalist trait, the ability responsible for brewing also burns with it. Same for the first skill; the corresponding action burns with it. If Haruspex was healed or healed himself, then upon choosing a linked passive or ability to burn, he loses nothing that night, but the next night he loses this link and one other unrelated thing. If he is treated again, he only loses the chosen link.

Explanations on Traits and Abilities:
1. Disease burns one ability and one trait of the player's choice. If a character has no traits but has abilities—two abilities burn. Upon re-infection, disease progresses twice as fast. A role left without abilities and traits dies.
2. Isolation saves from infection and attack; protection—only from attack.
3. Healing saves after an attack, but does not protect from infection, only weakens its effect for one night (only one ability or trait burns). Does not save Ulcer and Albino.
4. Upon healing, all burned abilities and traits are restored, except spent natural protections.
5. Negative effects refer to block, isolation, redirection, killing, infection, hypnosis.
6. Corpses opened by Haruspex are not related to the death of roles; he can do this regardless of whether murders occurred or not.
7. Haruspex chooses what to brew himself.
8. Having taken Clara under control, Shabnak cannot heal or resurrect; laying on of hands deprives of ability to act regardless of target status.
9. Clara's laying on of hands is not considered a block, i.e., it can deprive unblockable roles of their turn. Clara cannot destroy Ulcer with laying on of hands.
10. Entrepreneur, Faith in miracle, Illusion traits do not burn from disease. A role is considered dead if nothing else remains.
11. Haruspex does not spend infusion or panacea if visiting negatives or those immune to infection. Consequently, they receive nothing from him. The same applies to Bachelor's antibiotics.
12. A player who received an infusion or panacea from Haruspex can use it the next night as an additional action or whenever they wish. The same applies to Bachelor's antibiotics.
13. An action cannot be used on self unless stated otherwise.
14. Unsuccessful infections and kills are not displayed. Ulcer's Ult is displayed as a fact even if it managed to infect no one. Block is displayed in any case.
15. Prophet's hypnosis deprives the target of their vote even if redirection is unsuccessful.
16. Olgimsky does not lose abilities upon infection; same applies to Haruspex using panacea. Nevertheless, they are considered "burnable."
17. Haruspex's skills and abilities are linked, i.e., if the player chooses to burn the Herbalist trait, the ability responsible for brewing also burns with it. Same for the first skill; the corresponding action burns with it. If Haruspex was healed or healed himself, then upon choosing a linked passive or ability to burn, he loses nothing that night, but the next night he loses this link and one other unrelated thing. If he is treated again, he only loses the chosen link.
