Plague Watch

During the waning years of the Second Age, disease and plague swept through the nation of Gilthanon. Unknown at the time, the plague was associated and inundated in most major cities by means of livestock and crops. This disease cleansed the nation of nearly a third of it's inhabitants before the people of **** created a purifying salt that was able to cure the disease from the foods. The inhabitants, especially of the monkish "(something for abstinence)" society never fell ill. This allowed the scientists to realize the cause of the disease and fight it.

However, while this became the case, a primitive group of physicians called the Plague Watch became necessary for the maintenance of the scores of sick in each city. Those chosen to act in the Plague Watch would tend the sick, dealing with everything from the epidemic disease to various wounds that the sick would come to them with. This kickstarted the formal training institutes and the Watcher clans that acts as the forefront of modern medicine within the Third Age.
