The Blood Fever Starting Location
Objective: Talk to Phoibe
Talk to Phoibe, who will tell you about her friend in the nearby village of Kausos. There is a terrible sickness there that she wants you to investigate and help if possible.
Objective: Talk to the Sick Villagers
Getting anywhere near Kausos, you’ll see that something is very wrong. A thick cloud of dust and flies hangs over the whole area.
Approach the waypoint to talk to a priest who warns you about the dangers of the Blood Fever, and claims that he has to kill and burn the villagers in order to save Kephallonia. The outcome is for you to decide; you can either tell the priest to let them go, causing you to enter combat with them immediately, or you can walk away and leave the villagers to their fate.
Objective: Kill the Priest and Guards
If you chose “Let these people go”, then you will have to fight the priest and his two guards.
Objective: Talk to the Sick Villagers
Talk to the villagers a second time to end the quest.

For the Blood Fever quest I choose to kill the priest and the sickness spread all over Kephalonia. However, in Athens there is a “both ways” sidequest named “Bad Omens” it appears to me during the night in the exit of the city Greater Athens that is near Port Of Piraeus, the man on this quest talks about a “sickness that is coming in the horizon and that will consume all Athens”. He ask you to deliver a flower to a near doctor in the city. I’m not sure if this is the “cure” for the blood fever, but is interesting that the man talks about a sickness that is coming.
Yes! I just now completed it and looked up if others had found it. I wonder if somehow it does save Athens. Hope so.
On my second playthrough, I chose to kill the villagers, and I still received the Bad Omens quest. Maybe I didn’t do a good enough job?
You get it because Athens was struck by plague in In 430 BC. Can’t change history by killing or sparing one family.
