History of the Forgotten Realms

A plague originating from Bandor Village reportedly through contact with a winged humanoid race. The plague snuffs all life in Bandor, spreading out to Vandal Station where it claimed 4,000 more lives before ceasing its deadly march. Only the most healthy of the Vandals survived, but the population of the village is reduced below 500. Their ability to patrol the ancestral lands of their forefathers is crippled, and many of the survivors move to Frostypaw. Those who chose to stay patrol the ancestral lands in small groups, guarding what they felt to be the most important burial grounds from intrusion.
