Wormplague
The Wormplague is a horrendous disease spread by tiny worms that involves its victims turning into mindless husks, incubating more worms, whose every thought and action is to infest more victims with worms.

History
-Drilling off the coast for Black Rock, the Chaparachiudi corporation discovered a piece of stone, unknown to them to be Yrind, The Reaching, a star shard of Llgris, an Elder Evil dark star that was banished before time began.
-They extracted the stone, though some of the workers began getting sick. Echigor specialists were brought in to study and examine the stone.
-They studied it for about a year with hopes of weaponizing the Worm Plague properties in the war against Endred.
-Eventually Echigor scientists developed a weapon version of the Worm Plague
-Yrind was lost to Chaparachiudi and Echigor when The Odium hijacked the ship that was transporting it.
