Alacade Decay

Alacade Decay was first recorded 1500 years ago. Aire Paren and renowned elf mage was found by his family in his workshop passed out. At first the healer dismissed his symptoms which were chest, ear and gum pain, as being overworked and exhausted. They recommended a week of rest. However when Aire’s symptoms continued to worsen over the next week and get weirder. Such as he developed sores in his mouth, his hair started to stiffen. His skin has also started to stiffen and crack. He also felt like he was walking through lead. With this information they had to look at different things.
In the next ten years six other elf mages found the same way and had the same symptoms. While Aire Paren was continuing to decline in health. Aire’s healer, Saria Glizana started investigating as to what linked them all. It took her time to rule out bacteria or virus. She then visited the mage shop of one of the most recent affected and found their son mixing up several different components that they used in their magic. She asked what they were. These were the components: Flamelead, Doomclay, Sunsand, Pitchsliver, Granddust. Flamelead, Pitchsliver, and Doomclay are known as being mildly toxic. So Saria Glizana talked to each of the other known affected and found that they all had been mixing these components for all of their lives.
Armed with this information Saria Glizana was able to work out a potion that would slow the progression of what had become known as Alacade Decay. This was about 30 years since the first case and sadly Aire Paren had since passed away. Saria Glizana then started to work with Aire Paren’s daughter to create protective clothing for the mages to use to prevent or lower the chance to get Alacade Decay.
