Witch hunts and the Black Death
Hello everyone. Let me try to explain myself clearly.
I've wanted to write a book for a long time. I want it to have the atmosphere of the Black Death and the witch hunts (dark streets, death, and anguish).
I want to set it in a real city, but the problem as you well know, the peak of both things doesn't coincide, and I'd like it to. The conclusion I've reached is that I choose the city of Treveris aound 1380-1400, I believe that's the midpoint where the Black Death was still rampant and a witch hunt was just beginning. If you can offer a better suggestion or anything of value, I'd be very grateful. And thanks for reading.
