drfate786 1690 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hey, I need help with a school project and I was wondering if off topic could help me. You see, I have a school project on the black death and would LOVE for someone to help me out by explaining it's brief history to me. I know it's a strain of virulent Yersinia Pestis and that the original outbreaks came from Asia, but is there a more...ancient history? What kind of reproduction does it have? How long does it take for infected to show symptoms? Is it a threat now that a strain with immunity to antibiotics may or may not exist? Etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your teachers will tell you it is wrong because they want you to spend hours looking through books. I trust Wikipedia over other random sources.

ARCHITECUS 4788 Share Posted April 6, 2016 It started in the town of Vekaro, in the Chivay Empire, in The Fringe. A young boy named Lorik Edain was the first known carrier. He began to show symptoms after a friendly punching match with his fellow strelts, who all became carriers and soon expressed signs of the plague. A Dwarven raid came, and considering the townsfolk were wont to driving them out, did so with sword and fist. This spread the plague back to Urguan, where the population was largely affected. It spread through unknowing carriers all about The Fringe, causing cities to be abandoned and new forts for the plague-free to reside, usually set up by nobles for themselves and retainers.
