Talk:Dryditch Fever

I've often wondered, is it possible that the plague that struck Loamhedge might have been Dryditch Fever? I know its never explicitly said, but what we know of the symptoms are similar, and wasn't the Loamhedge plague brought in by vermin as well? As the Flowers of Icetor only grow in the far north, there was no way to get them to the old abbey, hence the exodus of all healthy animals to Mossflower.
