Description
- A plague which descended upon the region which became Kythus during the Pëlöryk Wars. The Grey Death is characterized by the stony textured grey scabbing which proliferates on those infected. Scabbing does not manifest until approximately 3-5 days after exposure, during which time the new victim is also contagious. Grey death is highly contagious so the quarantine of afflicted individuals is a typical response. Late stage, or survivors of this disease are often still treated as a threat long after they cease to be contagious.
