The rider of the pale horse, Death itself, comes through and with it, plague. The plague itself was no stranger to the average medieval town. But the difference, as with most things, was scale. Having armies march for so long and in the poor sanitation conditions of war caused outbreaks of plague everywhere. And the international conflict turned the Holy Roman Empire into a mixing pot of disease.

    Ah yes, the four horsemen of the apocalypse: Conquest, war, famine and skeletor. In all seriousness, its horrible that so many died in this war.

    Modern people forget that during this time, most people lived their entire lives within 25 miles of where they were born. Unless you were a soldier or a refugee from war, you would most likely spend your entire life in the valley where you were born.

    For the section on camp diseases, Modern Military life still has this, to a lesser extent. When you get to basic you're immunized for everything possible, told to never touch your face and wash frequently, and yet recruits and instructors alike catch what is called "the crud" (a combination of cold and flu like symptoms) and pink eye runs rampant as well. Quarantines can be placed to effect for groups of recruits and more. Because even today drawing people from across the country and packing them together is still a health endeavor.

    "And with the beasts of the earth". Love how you showed humans engaging in battle. We truly do become beasts in war.

    Fun Fact: Lice are species specific. So different species of lice feed on different species. Their digestive systems are a tune to a certain blood from a certain animal.
