Diseased Relicary
Weird autopsies
An mild ailment corroded the streets of Arca two decades ago. The fevers were believed to be contracted throught the ingestion of contaminated fish and water. The vercals, renown healers, rose to power to ensure it wouldnt erradicate the city, but it ended making it worse. Health potions administered by Saint Trina's order were only capable of stopping the synthoms for a few days, and then they returned and so on. Anger festered in the streets, as only a few were able to afford such care and any attempts to replicate or look for a cure outside the order were crushed just as the poison filled vials between the teeths of their perpretators.
Queen Consuelo Vercal herself got the infection, but she endured years, for the monarch had the saints beside her. As the queen stood proudly on Arca Altus tall towers, the city withered at her feet. And another disease took the city: rebellion.
Only when the queen stepped down and took off the crown, as a final act of martydom, the plague was expelled from the city's lungs. The Nerón family then swore to legislate towards peace so the city could recover, not just from the epidemy, but also from the deep wounds that divided it.
The disease is now known as the Saltpeter fevers, due to its origin in the salty waters of the estuary, and the white residue pilling around the mouths of the ill. Just a few medics and forensic were able to see where it came from.

CARDONA-PINTURA-ART-SANTS MARTIRS-CRIPTA-RELICARIS-MISTICA-HISTORIA-ESGLESIA-SANT MIQUEL-PAISATGES-INTERIORS-PINTOR-ERNEST DESCALS- En el interior de la cripta de la Església de Sant Miquel de Cardona, he podido pintar otro los paisajes interiores que me entusiasman, unas pequeñas urnas que contienen los restos de los Santos Mártires, els SANTS MARTIRS, que cuentan las leyendas fueron ajusticiados en Calahorra en tiempos del Imperio Romano en Hispania y posteriomente devueltos en sus bellos relicarios a la iglesia del pueblo de CARDONA, pueblos de la Comarca del Bages en la provincia de Barcelona, Catalunya Central, bajo una luz eminentemente mística se hallan adosados al fondo de la pared central, el objeto en sí mismo resulta de pequeñas dimensiones, pero he querido mostrarlo ocupando toda la pintura para disfrutar de sus detalles y sobre todo plasmando en la obra sus efectos mágicos sobre los escogidos visitantes que pueden contemplarlo. Formando un mundo propio, las Reliquias adquieren toda la importancia en su atmósfera histórica y religiosa, el uso de las luces es el que he creído más oportuno para embellecer al máximo este asombroso detalle en una población que es conocida por su imponente castillo, pero que se demuestra capaz de albergar tantos otros tesoros. Pinturas del artista pintor Ernest Descals sobre papel de 50 x 70 centímetros, pintando las joyas escondidas.
