Grey Fever

The Grey Fever was an affliction that spread through the city of Halluag in early 2007 and continued late into 2008. It was a wasting disease, causing severe weakness and often resulting in painful lesions that appeared all over the diseased's body. The disease was named for the grey pallor that stained the faces of its victims.

Many residents of Halluag died in the illness, amongst them Kate Dynamite, mother of resident alchemist Gideon Dynamite. Despite efforts by the Fallen Torvus Memorial Church, and Brother Icabod in particular, the Fever spread quickly and resisted cure. Even those who benefited from healing magics would often relapse within weeks.

Ultimately it was necessary to quarantine the ill and hope for recovery. The disease disappeared in 2008 and there have been no recorded instances of the Fever since.
