Dragonblight

Transmission & Vectors

It is unknown exactly how Dragonblight spreads, it only affects the newly born. It is seen that Elgas is the centre of this infection and many relate it to the Dragonborn but there are cases where this makes little to no difference especially in places where no Dragonborn have ever been recorded. In lesser draconoids the infection has been noted and can be spread.

Causes

The cause is assumed to be the ancient Dragon Doomsire that poisoned the world to sate some maddened revenge.
