The IceWing plague was a disease enchanted by [[King Darkstalker]] to kill all the [[IceWings]] except Winter and hybrids, as Darkstalker believed [[Queen Diamond]] had killed [[Foeslayer]]. Evidently, a great deal of the IceWing tribe had contracted it.
The '''IceWing plague''' was a deadly [[animus]] [[enchantment]] cast by [[Darkstalker (L1)|Darkstalker]], affecting almost every [[IceWing]] on [[Pyrrhia]].


This disease was brought into existence by King Darkstalker, and it was revealed during the epilogue of [[Talons of Power (Book)|''Talons of Power'']]. Every IceWing in [[Possibility]] was confirmed to have the sickness, as well as possibly every IceWing in the IceWing Kingdom. [[Typhoon]] mentioned that it did not spread like a normal disease. Only pure IceWings caught it, as Darkstalker didn't want to get himself or any of his descendants sick (Darkstalker is a hybrid, more specifically an IceWing-NightWing hybrid).

In the book ''[[Darkness of Dragons]]'', Typhoon informed [[Queen Thorn]] about the disease, and [[Qibli]] sent his enchanted earrings to the IceWings. Every IceWing in the tribe apparently got the earrings, but not before twenty IceWings including [[Queen Glacier]], one of the first to get sick, died.

The IceWing plague was a deadly animus enchantment cast by Darkstalker, affecting almost every IceWing on Pyrrhia.

Description

The plague would cause IceWings to cough up blood and was fatal, killing dragons after a period of sickness.[1][2] In Glacier's case, it caused her to become unconscious for long periods of time.[3] It did not spread like a normal disease, as dragons would spontaneously get sick without any points of transmission.[4] Only Winter and IceWing hybrids were not affected. The exact wording of the spell is unknown, but it affected almost all the IceWings across Pyrrhia.[5]

Timeline

  • Darkstalker cast the spell to inflict the plague the night he was freed from Agate Mountain.[6]
  • Qibli learned about the plague from Typhoon while visiting Queen Thorn.[1] He used Turtle's bowl to duplicate his enchanted earring, which granted immunity to Darkstalker's spells to the wearer, and sent a sack of them to the IceWings in an attempt to save them.[7]
  • Many IceWings survived the plague, thus reigniting the two-thousand-year-old war between the IceWings and the NightWings.[8]

Known casualties

Trivia

  • The only pure IceWing not to get the plague was Winter. This was because he was Moon's friend and Darkstalker promised her that he would not hurt them.[11]
