Calamity Sickness

While everyone, to some degree, feels an air of hopelessness about the state of the world since the end of the Last War, there are those who are more effected than most, taking the form of a magically transmitted affliction, which is becoming more common every year and is more prevalent the closer people are to The White Wastes, those who contract the sickness are almost fully despondent.

The magical disease can affect any being in Allatar(location:11d21bea-560e-4c07-afa7-a57e15e16fc4)  but is more common the closer you get to @[The White Wastes so scholars believe that it is magically transmitted from the source of the calamity that destroyed Alavon
