Scientific achievement
The epidemy of blackout affected the populations of Stunveldt and Ruh greatly during the years of 3000 to 3002 E.Alz.
In Reaping 23rd, 3004 E.Alz, the plant thorn child was found to be useful in the making of a medicinal beverage against it, which stopped the disease and its spread almost instantly, controlling the spread of it and giving the epidemy an end.
This cure has, however, a small chance of producing thorns, a short term disease characterized by a blind rage. No cure or preventive measures have been found against thorns, though the creation of thorn cells have helped the control and treatment of the affected people.
