Plague of Dragons

The Plague of Dragons was the name given to a plague that caused the infected individuals' skin to flake and minds to plunge into madness.

History
In 1317 DR, the disease ravaged population of Vilhon Reach, starting with the city of Alaghôn. The affliction was named the Plague of Dragons due to the flaky scale-like skin condition it caused and the madness it caused. The epidemic was faced with calm and rationale. Clerics of different faiths all banded together to cure the plague and stop its spread. By 1323 DR, the Plague of Dragons was virtually eradicated from Vilhon. The main reminder of the terrible disease in the city of Alaghôn were mass-graves filled by the Plague of Dragons.

Overall, the plague took lives of many inhabitants of Chessenta and Unther, where it raged for one more year, until 1324 DR. The lands of Mulhorand remained mostly unaffected by the plague and Thay and avoided being infected by leaving the Wizards' Reach.
