IceWing plague

In the epilogue of Talons of Power, they talk about a plague that had started three days before the current time. Evidently, a great deal of the IceWing tribe has contracted it.

Symptoms

Coughing and fever. Eventually, as soon as three days or less, death can occur.

Dragons confirmed sick

• Queen Glacier (now deceased)
• Prince Narwhal (bedridden)
• Princess Tundra (bedridden)

• Prince Hailstorm (weakened)

Trivia

• It is hinted that Darkstalker created the plague, as he has a grudge against IceWings and recklessly uses his magic to get even quite frequently.
• So far, only royal IceWings have been confirmed to have the plague.
• It is unknown so far if other dragon tribes, those of IceWing descent, or IceWing hybrids can get the plague.
• It has been speculated by some fans that King Darkstalker made the plague due to his hatred of IceWings. However, no information given to us by the book, sneak peeks, or Tui confirms this suspicion.
• It may be a coincidence or not that this occurred close to the same time as the events in other tribes mentioned in the epilogue
