The Plague of Thorns

Life, Death

1496 DR 7 Ches

Despite the best efforts of the party, the plague that was discovered in the bowels of The Vanthampur Family manor, was discovered on some of the refugees that had escaped from Elturel to Baldurs Gate. Being highly contagious, the group did their best to treat those they could see who were infected but it was impossible to tell the extent the plague had spread.

Lacking another recourse, the group notified the city guard, instructing them to setup a quarantine area and to attempt to contain the spread, lest it consume the city before they became aware of its pressence. The city was swift and ruthless in its actions, shutting out those infected from the city.


This plague would later be felt throughout faerun as the graves filled with the bodies of its victims.
