History
History[]
The Wasting Sickness emerged as a fatal disease that afflicted aging dragons. A notable symptom of this sickness was the gradual black edges on shedding of the dragons' scales, and becoming irritable. Some of the dragons who raised Wyldfyre were affected by this illness.[1] Consequently, the Wasting Sickness became of Wyldfyre's greatest fear.[2]
Years later, Wyldfyre discovered that Egalt was also succumbing to the illness.[1] After Thunderfang was sent to the Spectral Lands, Egalt would succumb to the illness and passed away from it.[3]
