The IceWing plague was a deadly disease enchanted by Darkstalker to make all pure IceWings in the Ice Kingdom and Possibility fall very ill, as revenge for Diamond supposedly killed Foeslayer. The only pure IceWing not to get the plague was Winter but it is unknown why. It did not spread like a normal disease according to Typhoon; every IceWing in Possibility instantly caught the plague and started coughing up blood.[1] In the Ice Kingdom, many IceWings also caught the plague, and twenty, including Queen Glacier, died.[2][3]

The disease was finally stopped when Typhoon informed Thorn about it, and Qibli sent enchanted earrings, which granted immunity to Darkstalker's spells, to the IceWings, saving most of them, but also restarting a two-thousand-year-old war.

Symptoms

  • Coughing up blood[1]

  • Dizziness
  • Death[2]

Trivia
