Blackcough

Blackcough is a deadly disease in the world of the roleplay. It is known to keep a cat alive for a long time, before slowly killing them. Symptoms include excessive coughing, dry throat, lack of appetite, nausea, and terrible headaches.

The first time the Clans were exposed to blackcough was in the early days of the five Clans. This outbreak caused the death of most of the Clan cats, and created DarkClan, before also forcing SkyClan away.

Blackcough came into the Clans a second time, years later, but this time only affected RiverClan. Emberpaw and Icepaw went on a quest to bring back the cure--the flowers of a tree called the Remedium. They planted a sapling next to the fresh-kill pile in case of another outbreak in the future.
