The Amaranthine Wars - A Plague

In retaliation for the loss of his son, Ragnar, Xerxes has poisoned all the Versai lands. Food and water sources are now tainted with the sickness. All who live in these lands, and those who visit it and eat/drink here, will become gravely ill. The sickness itself is a variant of the Underworld disease; equines will suffer from sores on their body, nausea, weakness, weight and muscle loss, visual and auditory hallucinations, delirium and in some cases, death (at the discretion of the RPer). Those of a weaker or elderly disposition will endure the virus harder. Aid from healers will help ease symptoms, but until the land is blessed, the sickness will likely return.

This curse will remain in place until the end of Act 3 of the War, at that point, it will fade away. Utopia's presence and continual effort will be needed to bless the lands and rid them of this sickness - note that miracles will weaken the curse, not break it. Repetead efforts will be required or the curse will grow in strength. Be prepared for the presence of the Underworld to remain for the duration of Act 3.
