Khyldau

The Khyldau disease is the disease which first appeared in South West Malomanan in the 29th century AN. It mostly affected large herbivores although it was transmitted to humans who preyed upon them. Infected humans usually died too fast before more humans could be infected so the human casulties were quite low. The infected game pressured many populations to seek alternative sources of food. By the 30th century the disease had spread east where it forced the people there to move away from hunting and towards agriculture and so they became the Moca people.

=Name= Khyldau is from Old Sumrë where it was known by it’s full name Khyldáu Mylt (“the dry disease”), so called for one of its symptoms of hydrophobia.
