Plague

Plagues were severe cases of disease spreading throughout the Empire.

Wasting Disease
In 1123, following the Scorpion Coup, Yogo Junzo opened the Black Scroll known as the Wasting Disease. This released a virulent plague that raged through the Empire during the Clan War. The plague would result in those who died from it rising as undead.

Plague War
In 1172 a new plague ravaged the Empire during the conflict with Kali-Ma. Similarily to the Wasting Disease, this plague also resulted in the dead rising.
