Chapter 0:
The Blight, and The Infection.
Notice: Most of the info are from the Guts and Blackpowder Wiki.
The infection, referred to in-universe as "The Blight" is an unknown disease with an incredibly high mortality rate, with its origins are currently unknown.
The Blight first appeared following the Russo-Turkish War (1806-1812), when Russian troops began returning from the war to fight Napoleon.
At some point following the burning of Moscow, the Blight gained its re-animation properties. Sinners who have failed to accept Christ and repent for their sins and, upon succumbing to the infection, re-animates. "Shamblers" as they are reffed to, and other Zombies are believed to be the souls of the damned trapped within their own dead bodies.
