Plague
Plague is a status effect that can spread through combat. Any province — including Undead — can catch it. Spread occurs through both attacking and defending.
Immunity
Immunity prevents the penalties below and suppresses the plague indicator on the Throne page, but does not prevent a province from carrying or spreading plague.
Undead normally always carry plague invisibly: they ignore its effects and spread it at the base rate. All other races that contract plague spread it only at a reduced rate, which lowers transmission frequency but not plague strength.

Curing Plague
- Nature's Blessing: 33% chance to cure plague on each successful cast (and once per tick while active).

- At 100%+ BE, 25% Hospitals achieves the maximum cure chance.
- At lower BE, a higher proportion of Hospitals is required.
