Descrizione

The smell of disease is rancid in the streets, but you are the Plague Doctor. All you smell are the fresh lemon balm and rose hips in your mask, protecting you from the lethal miasma of the dying.

You wear a mask, leather gloves, and your Benedict Robe as your protection from the dangers of the world’s illness, shielding you just as a knight’s armour protects him from a fatal strike. To everyone else, you are a symbol of knowledge and healing…but also the harbinger of death. Looking into the blackness of your mask’s eyes feels like exposing one’s soul, and so even your patients harbor fear at your presence.
