The Sunset Plague was a fatal disease that nearly destroyed the city of Calimport in −3332 DR.[1][note 1]

History[]

Almost everyone in Calimport was killed by the Sunset Plague after less than one tenday. This included more than half of the ruling Marekh family, leaving Daud yn Khadil el Marekh—a ship captain—to assume the throne.[1]

Fear of the plague meant that the city lay abandoned for a century following the outbreak. With their capital lost, the power of the Marekh Dynasty was irrevocably broken, and it dissolved just twelve years later.[1]

Notes[]

  1. 1.0 1.1 The Grand History of the Realms claims that the Sunset Plague and the devastation of the Marekh Dynasty occurred circa -4770 DR, but this is an error. It is a result of merging the entries for -4770 and -3332 DR in the timeline provided on p. 14 of the Calimport sourcebook.
