The Gnawing Plague

The Gnawing Plague, also known as "the Gnaws," is known in every corner of Richemulot.

Transmission & Vectors

The Gnaws is spread when a creature is bitten by a rat or wererat that carries the disease, or by coming into pysical contact with an infected creature.

Symptoms

The plague's symptoms include buboes, fatigue, splotchy rashes, sweats, and shaking, particularly facial tremors. Richemulot locals liken these twitches to the sniffing of rats. Sufferers often have scraps of leather placed in their mouths to prevent their teeth clattering, but they inevitably gnaw through these scraps.
