Like many of the British dragons, Nitidus contracted the [[Dragon Plague]] in 1806. Along with the rest of Lily's formation, he was sent to [[Cape Town]] aboard the [[HMS Allegiance]] to find a cure. Laurence, spending the evenings reading to Temeraire from his books, was surprised to find that all the dragons quickly comprehended geometric theory.
