Scourge of Odin

Astrid sick Scourge of Odon

The Scourge of Odin is a lethal disease transmitted by blood and said to disappeared for centuries in the archipelago.

Symptoms

The effects are coughing, pale skin and fatigue. The infected turn pale and start coughing within a day or so. They turn too weak to walk and have a tendency to faint. During the following day, their skin turns pale and eventually into a sickly shade of green and their eyes become bloodshot. Death is said to occur during the third moon.

Cure

The only cure for this lethal disease is the green saliva secreted by Buffalords. This cure is hard to come by as Buffalords are critically endangered, thought to be extinct and its saliva appears to be volatile and evaporates quickly. The effect, fortunately, takes place almost instantly.

Appearances

• Buffalord Soldier

In Race to the Edge

Astrid comes down with the Scourge of Odin in the third season of Race to the Edge when she enters a ship with the infected crew. As the Scourge of Odin can only be transmitted via blood, she became infected when scratched by a survivor. She was eventually cured with Buffalord saliva and the remaining crew were given a proper Viking funeral--their ship set ablaze in honor by the gang.
