Great Cleansing of Ellios
The Great Cleansing of Ellios, or The Cleansing as it is more usually known, was a period of some 50 years during which time a plague swept through the humanoid races of Ellios.
The Cleanse swept through Ellios resulting in extinction of entire species and in some cases extreme evolutionary change. Unsurprisingly this was a period of all out war between humanoid races as they sought to overcome one another in their collective hours of need.
At first many thought populations would in time establish immunity to The Cleanse but this rarely happened. The Cleanse showed an uncanny ability to adapt, no cure was or has ever been found. The healing salves, spells and potions that offered slight relief quickly became ineffective as The Cleanse mutated.
It was not until the later years of the cleanse (33TC to 50TC) that the deadliness of the disease started naturally to diminish allowing communities to begin to re-establish themselves.
No one is entirely sure where the cleanse originated, some say it came out of The Waste, others that a ship arrived from The East with an infected crew, what is certain is that over 80% of the peoples of Ellios perished.
