Blight Clearance and Solution
April 309 AC marked the beginning of the Shattel Blight, beginning within the then du Saullevé lands without seeming cause or historical reference. Now, after seven months, this plague has finally dwindled in numbers throughout the archipelago, cases of Blight sickness fading out as well as the remaining fields and unaffected crops able to be harvested. Of course, after the severe destruction that occurred throughout the growing season, there will be a shortage in some agricultural goods, although the worst has been avoided.
During the Lich Occupation that occurred throughout August - September 309 in Regalia, a council of Anglian trade house offices took it into their hands to find a solution before the applied tactics from the Privy Office were overrun due to halted research. Through this, they enforced Fyrd Separation, a process of field burning that follows a similar technique that the Privy Office has previously published about. As stated during the 24th of May 309 AC assembly, "Grains are split equally in constructions called Fyrds … cone-shaped brick and mortar buildings, like grain silos, that remain closed for the remainder of the wet seasons ... These Fyrds exist to prevent blight from affecting whole harvests, by splitting up harvests into manageable piles per region. So that if one region is affected by blight, the Fyrd is simply torched and the problem goes away." [The Sunday Scratch: Issue 7, Baron von Bispingen]
In theory, the Shattel Blight has been handled, although no official cure or cleanser has been detected yet for it this situation were to occur again. Research may still occur in the future by the Regalian Government. The Blight is no longer considered high priority and agricultural restrictions are now recommended to lift throughout the Archipelago.
If you suspect that the Blight is still within your region(s), please get in contact with the Privy Officer as soon as possible. Additionally, it is recommended that the process of Fyrd Separation be implemented throughout other Archipelago regions as its effectiveness has been proved, as it has again and again in the past.
Final Special Thanks
After months of combating the Regalian Blight, there is no doubt in the mind of the Privy Office that thanks are in order. It warms the heart of this writer to see how many came together to protect our Empire against foreign disease, no matter what our differences might be. Regardless if one is a commoner without individual mention, a noble house, or a researcher that dedicated time to laboratory research, you are all important to the cause that this was.
Thank you to:
The Anglian trade officers that independently researched the Blight and brought it under control
All individuals outside of the Holy City that did their own individual research
All individuals outside of the Holy City that maintained policies and guidelines

Without the collective effort of all those mentioned and the remainder of the Regalian Empire, the crisis that this event was could have expanded further and far worse than it did in the end. To those that were lost, we shall honor them by remaining vigilant and maintaining our research into the future when the time comes. Thank you, again.
Everwatcher Be,
