The Temples Plague was a disease that struck Calimshan and Tashalar in the Year of Frenzied Tempests, −676 DR.[1]
Acquisition[]
The disease was spread via touch with an infected individual, even if they were unaware that they were infected.[1]

It caused fever and accumulation of fluid in the lungs.[1]
History[]
The disease was concentrated in Almraiven, Calimport, and the cities of Tashalar. It led to the deaths of about 7% of the population across these regions, although Calimport fared slightly better with a casualty rate of 5%.[1]
