Fever Year was the term used to describe the first plague on Pern.
Background[]
The Fever Year was the 16th year AL. It was a plague-epidemic which decimated the Northern Continent. It was the cause of death for Emily Boll. Ezra Keroon was another victim; he went to sleep after hearing that Sean Connell and Carenath went to check on the AIVAS building in the Southern Continent. He never woke.
Two years later[]
Ezremil Connell, son of Sorka Hanrahan and Sean Connell, was named for the two leaders. [1]
