The Night Plague

Disaster / Destruction

Liches terrorize the citizens of Fallight/Zhentil Keep

In the year 1775, a cabal of liches, previous mage-lords who had retreated underground to pursue the necromantic arts, began returning to the city surface at night, terrorizing the citizens. This period, known as the Night Plague, culminated with the city passing an edict forcing all mercenaries and sell-swords into the Zhentilar Army. The army, together with Zhent-mages and priests of Bane, drove the liches back into their underground crypts which were then magically sealed to prevent them from wandering the city.
