The Plague | comment |
An epidemic (or even pandemic) disease with lethal or at least very serious consequences for the infected. The Plague stories come in several different types. In the first, the protagonists are usually trying to find a cure or preventing it from spreading further. Expect Storyboarding the Apocalypse and a Spreading Disaster Map Graphic from such stories. The second is where the Plague is the cause of an After the End plot. Either the disease happened before the beginning of the story or the story begins with The End of the World as We Know It. In both cases the heroes are usually just naturally immune and are unable to stop the Plague killing everyone who isn't. Sometimes, the Plague overlaps with The Virus and turns its victims into horrible degenerate mutants. It's also a common cause of the Zombie Apocalypse, if the story wants to empty the world and then fill it with monsters. For artificially and magically created diseases, see Synthetic Plague and Mystical Plague, respectively. For a being whose main ability is to spread similar diseases, see Plaguemaster. Compare Depopulation Bomb and Sterility Plague. Needless to say, this sort of thing has been sadly Truth in Television for centuries, although the rise of modern medicine has greatly helped. As an aside, the word "plague" originally described a specific disease, The Black Death. While the Black Death is still called "plague", the word's definition has expanded to describe any widespread disease. |

Fridge Horror | |
The Plague / int_1ae27a74 | comment |
While estimates of the worldwide population at any given time in history tend to vary widely, most agree on two or three major times the otherwise steady trend of growth was interrupted: the middle of the 14th century (Black Death), the early 16th century (Columbian exchange), just after World War I (H1N1), and during the "Great Leap Forward" in China. Wars, catastrophes and all that had nothing on disease and malnourishment. Just let that sink in for a while. | |

Tragic AIDS Story | |
The Plague / int_36a2827b | comment |
For a more slow-moving plague, there's the HIV-AIDS pandemic, which involves a virus that slowly kills the immune system. It has killed millions and infected millions more. Medicine and treatment can keep a victim alive for years. Currently the only known cure for AIDS is to receive a bone marrow transplant from somebody who has a mutation that makes them resistant to it, which is such a dangerous operation that living with the disease is a far safer option, and it does not work against all strains of AIDS. | |

The Fair Folk | |
The Plague / int_859ec5d8 | comment |
Well, it's suggested that the First and Forsaken Lion, the Deathlord who helped unleash the Contagion, got hasty and decided to let The Fair Folk come in to tear down whatever remained. However, although the Fair Folk literally erased large chunks from Creation, the energies of the Wyld also began to suffuse the world, which are suggested to have boosted everyone else's immune system. | |

The plague that almost killed the Ancients in the universe is an important part of the setting. It wasn't enough to kill them all, but the first time they encountered it they said "screw it, we're out of here". | |

The Hourman Virus spread by Solaris in DC One Million was particularly insidious. Caused by Nanomachines, it acted like both a biological virus and a computer virus, and could be spread to each type of victim by the other type. And it was capable of wiping out humanity in twenty-four hours. | |

Sarcasm Mode | |
The Plague / int_9f80e1da | comment |
The "Corrupted Blood Plague" was an incident involving a raid boss named Hakkar the Soulflayer. He came equipped with the Corrupted Blood debuff, which drained HP over time and could spread to other players... as well as their pets and minions. Not only that, but thanks to quality foresight, infected pets remained so even after the raid was over. The trouble began when some players used pets to collect the ailment and then unleashed them in cities. As it turned out, NPCs were vulnerable to Corrupted Blood, too. This basically broke the game for about a week as entire cities were depopulated and low-level players died in droves. Interestingly, this incident attracted the attention of both epidemiologists and anti-terrorism units, the former because of how similar the spread of Corrupted Blood was to real-life diseases, and the latter because quite a few infectees tried to deliberately spread the virus. | |

Alternate History | |
The Plague / int_a86069f | comment |
The backstory to the Alternate History of Chassis involves the outbreak of a virulent disease known as 'the Virus' to scientists, and as the 'Perfect Plague' during The Great War. This virus forces hasty peace talks and a speedy end to the war in 1916. | |

The Black Death | |
The Plague / int_b0ae741 | comment |
The Black Death, also Yersinia plague, began in China and had spread to Europe by the 1300s, killed a sizable fraction of the Eurasian population: estimates vary wildly, but some place the death rate as high as 60%. Europe's population would not recover for 150 years. Smaller Yersinia epidemics would continue to recur once every few decades in Europe and Asia until the early 18th Century. |

The same or a similar plague was used by the Ori against unbelievers in the Milky Way. It was the first and only time when a weapon of mass destruction was successfully used against Earth in the primary universe. | |

Deader than Dead | |
The Plague / int_bc1865fb | comment |
In addition to the many plagues that have directly impacted humans, there's the cattle plague known as rinderpest. Since domestic cattle have long been a primary food source for humans, outbreaks of rinderpest tended to cause famine and mass starvation. Mass vaccination of cattle resulted in it being declared eradicated in 2010, becoming the second virus that has been eliminated in that manner. The laboratory samples of the virus are now being destroyed, so that it will not only be gone from the wild but completely erased from existence. | |

The Dung Ages | |
The Plague / int_dfc3e10a | comment |
Importation of diseases to the Americas was not just a one-way deal: the Europeans got syphilis as an exchange. Whilst there had been similar diseases earlier in Europe, the American strand was extremely virulent, and it killed a lot of people, and rendered even more sterile. The majority of old European Medieval noble families died out, and several royal houses (Valois, Tudor, Trastamara, Rurik) became extinct. The syphilis also caused drastic changes to sexual behavior — and, unfortunately, hygiene. Since Treponema pallidium thrived in public baths and saunas, they all but disappeared in Europe. The following centuries were the real Dung Ages, not Middle Ages. | |

Peryite is the Daedric Prince of Pestilence and Tasks, and is essentially the ES universe embodiment of the idea of the plague. His idea of bestowing "blessings" upon his followers is to afflict them with disease. He has been connected with the creation of numerous plagues throughout history, including, most infamously, the Thrassian Plague which wiped out half of Tamriel's population in the 1st Era. | |

The Federation's "Section 31" also creates a plague to kill the Changelings and win the war. Dr. Bashir is also involved in countering this plague in the series' last season. | |
