Vine-blight

Vine-blight, sometimes called wine blight, was a disease that killed grape vines.
==History==
An outbreak of vine-blight in the , led to a dearth of wine throughout Faerûn. The effects of the disease were catastrophic for grape farmers, and led to a spike in the worship of Talona, the goddess of disease, by those seeking to appease her. That summer in Tethyr, peasants from the Purple Hills attempted to recoup their losses by selling what little wine they had produced to the North, but did so at the expense of providing their usual yearly payment of wine to their lord, the Duke of Ankramir. Having expected his usual tithe, the Duke declared the peasants to be in revolt—the so-called Wine Blight Insurrection—and sent his soldiers to confiscate the wine and round up those responsible.
