Editing Erod Belden (section)

==Aging and Death==
By 1749, Erod's health was beginning to fail. Jaton expressed his wish to stay and care for his dying mentor, however, that was impossible. Therefore, Erod put in a formal request to the [[Trill Symbiosis Commission]] to transfer Belden to Jaton once he died. Jaton agreed to this. By January of 1750, Erod had come down with Choriocytosis, which at this point in time had no cure. Erod was sent to a hospital in [[Mak'ala]], so as to have the best chance of fighting off this disease for as long as possible. However, by May of that year, Erod was completely bedridden. On the 16th, he sent for Jaton, and the transfer took place 10 days later. Erod died quietly a few hours later surrounded by his friends and family. He was buried with all the honors afforded a man of his station in [[Mak'ala]]. His tomb is still a notable tourist attraction on Trill, as he is considered the Father of Modern Trill Diplomacy.
