This story tells of a terrible sickness, its initial spread from one place to another and the effects it had on daily life in Europe. From strange reports from the East of a sickness killing off large civilizations to ships that carried the disease into ports, tragedy struck, and people began to die. Chaos, fear, and bad behavior ruled society as people struggled with the immense death and those still living started to fall apart.
