Fire & Blood Vol. 1 | The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Policy, Progeny, and Pain (Chapter 11)

In 59 AC, one of the ships travelling west with Elyssa Farman returned and said they had parted ways with her a year ago. She was never heard from again, but years later Corlys Velaryon swore he spotted her ship at a port in Asshai. Winter arrived and a deadly plague from somewhere overseas called the shivers broke out, killing thousands of highborn and lowborn people in Westeros. Chaos broke out in King’s Landing as all the guards were sick, and Rego Draz was beaten to death in the streets for being a Pentoshi. Jaehaerys rode into town himself and found the men responsible, then hung and disemboweled them. Daenerys Targaryen and many others died before the plague ran its course. Jaehaerys installed new members of his council and staff.
