The current plot is plague.A highly contagious neurological disease has been introduced to the land by one unsuspecting equine. Now that it has arrived, it has the chance to spread quickly and infect the rest of the population. Those who are infected struggle to survive, while the healthy's fear of infection spawns hatred and contempt. The disease is spread by prolonged contact with those who are infected. You can't catch it just by meeting a horse with it, but if you live with an infected horse there's a good chance of becoming infected yourself. It can also be passed on by breeding and from mother to foal, although some horses are naturally immune. Symptoms The only visible sign of the disease is swelling and soreness of the mucous membranes, such as the nostrils and around the eyes. Sometimes welts can form on the skin, particularly facially, and leave disfiguring scars. However, the main syptoms are caused when the disease affects the nerves. It can cause loss or hightening of senses, which can include: - Blindness
- Deafness
- Numbness
- Increased susceptability to pain
- Discomfort caused by light or sound
Some of these symptoms manifest themselves temporarily when a horse first catches the disease, but sometimes the problem remains permanent. As of yet there is no known cure.

Infected Mercy

If you wish for your horse to be immune from the disease, so that they do not have to risk catching it, then PM Rose and you will be added to the list of horses that cannot be infected. If your horse has been in contact with those who have the disease and you want them to catch it, then PM Rose and you will be added to the list of the infected.
Those on neither list are presumed to be susceptible to the disease, but have not been in contact with an infected horse long enough to catch it.
