Dragon's Doom
Dragon's Doom is the most deadly disease to ever hit Totania, the very catalyst for the Age of Plague that ravaged the world as its third Age. It killed millions and destroyed long-standing organizations.
The Disease
There are those who say because Dragon's Doom was made artificially that it is for some reason something they need to worry about less, or must blame someone for. While it is true that Viaxis Vammush is to blame, Dragon's Doom is more than anything the fault of the state of Draconian society, The Grand Wizard Struggle, and the Tamdian ideals of alchemy and perfectionism. More than this, however, Dragon's Doom is the culmination of the evil of the world, which had built up through the Age of Heroes and Age of Tranquility. For all good things must come to an end, and with times of justice and peace, there must be times of horror and strife. This is the balance of the world, and this is what Viaxis Vammush helped bring to the world in his own twisted way.Effects
Dragon's Doom is best characterized by green warts that appear on the body. This is the most common image, one of the "Usurper Plague" that killed Vimbish Baxcol and is modeled after the Green Dragon Lord Fraeton the Usurper. In the public zeitgeist, this is its most common and well known appearance. The truth is that there is no consistent color of Dragon's Doom. It is a disease of the soul, and thus draws on the power and personality of its victim. It can be all colors of Chromatic Dragons, with each giving the warts a special property. It has not been observed what causes each, though much study was done, conflicting accounts and the necessary isolation that destroyed most trade and information routes prevented consistent data from reaching the ears of those that needed to find it. What can be said for certain are what each wart was able to do:- Red- Emit flames
- Blue- Emit lightning
- Green- Emit poison
- White- Emit ice
- Black- Emit darkness
- Orange- Emit flames
- Yellow- Emit light
- Brown- Emit rocks
- Purple- Emit gas
