Grey Pox

Grey Pox, also known as Gwen's Fever, is a rare disease that surfaced originally in the Kingdom of Lordaeron along the border of Gilneas. It was known to spread into the Kingdom of Gilneas during the reign of Gwen Greymane, where it claimed the Queen's life in 170 F.A.. The disease ran rampant, as it was highly contagious, and nearly wiped out a quarter of the Gilnean population as it had a rather high fatality rate if gone untreated for too long. Symptoms normally included rashes and pox spreading on a person's body alongside phlegm and excessive nasal mucus. The fatality of the sickness came from swelling that could potentially close off one's air intake if it reached the neck or nasal region, causing death by asphyxiation.
Under King Sebastian Greymane, the disease was culled in 176 F.A. by way of the Gilnean Royal Alchemical Society. The disease has, as of today, become uncommon. Its cure, having been found to be a simple Peacebloom and Earthroot mix, is an easy to obtain solution.
