Epidemic of 1605

The Epidemic of 1605, sometimes known as the Great Plague was an epidemic that swept Sanmra between 1605 and 1609, killing many dalar, including then-sarda Ketkali. The plague caused great social upheaval as portals were closed and enclaves were isolated to stop the spread of disease, but also social advancement, leading to reorganization of the portal network, greater representation for smaller enclaves who had previously been largely overlooked by larger ones, and a weakening of power of noble families, many of whom suffered greatly from the disease.
