	Centuries later, Erenon gradually began to be repopulated by settlers re-entering the once plague-stricken land. Many that arrived were descendants of those forced to flee all those years ago. This slow trickle of people grew significantly after [[Sircathe Wriys]], ruler of [[Wymoor]], began to send messengers out to Viridia and [[~~Forloroth~~ & ~~Valadhel~~]] claiming the region to now be safe and full of riches for those bold enough to seize them. Despite attempts by the rulers of the Dominion and United Provinces to halt these messengers, their missives still spread and the city of Wymoor began to expand greatly.

	Most farmers in Erenon both grow crops and tend to livestock. The most common livestock are poultry, pigs, sheep, and goats. Due to the region’s low population density, livestock is frequently kept un-penned and allowed to forage in the forests. Crops can vary widely but usually include barley, grapes, legumes, fruit trees, and a variety of vegetables. Agriculture is often supplemented by hunted game and foraged plants, such as chokeberries, blackberries, strangler figs, and rugosa roses. Due to the influx of new arrivals to the area, more varieties of crops native to other regions have been introduced in recent years.		Most farmers in Erenon both grow crops and tend to livestock.

Outbreak of the plagues

	The first major plague hit Erenon in {{Year\|6613}}. While this region of Thadria always had many endemic diseases, the sickness that affected the first few people in near-simultaneous outbreaks in [[Restone]], [[Steel Falls]], and [[Talgell]] was something entirely new. Dubbed the [[Restone Plague]], those unfortunate enough to be exposed to the sick became infected themselves within a week. The Restone Plague quickly spread. Clerics and other healers sent to aid the province proved unable to do more than limit the extant of the disease's spread, stymied by the plague's resistance to magical healing. When the severity of the illness became clear to Viridian administrators, they quickly moved to shut down travel to and from the province. The legions were stationed on the borders, especially on the western side of Erenon, with orders to contain the plague until it could be treated. This contributed to the death toll, as refugees were forced into cramped, dirty camps as they waited for permission to cross the border. The plague continued for years, in which time it wiped out roughly half of the population of Erenon.		The first major plague hit Erenon in {{Year\|6613}}.

The plague continued for years, in which time it wiped out roughly half of the population of Erenon.

	The still-ongoing plague was compounded by an outbreak of a new illness in {{Year\|6614}}, usually referred to as [[Euphoric Insanity]], starting in the coastal city of [[Ocham]]. While not directly physically harmful itself, this disease is characterized by a mental state of blissful peace, denial of negative events and circumstances, and a sense of reckless abandon in the search of pleasure and leisure. Communities where both the Euphoric Insanity and Restone Plague were present were quickly annihilated, as citizens mingled and partied seemingly unaware of their imminent deaths. The legions tightened their control of the border. Some nobility were able to pull strings to escape, and some ordinary citizens fled south into [[Barat Rkund]]. The Euphoric Insanity is known to still exist, with rare flare ups within the province. It is not fatal alone and usually passes on its own even without treatment within a short time, as long as those infected don’t blissfully take an action that places them in grave harm before this time.
