A rapid rise in worldwide trade and shipping lead to the spread of the dreaded bubonic plague throughout the then-civilized world. Early cases in Cruisana were observed, leading to quarantining of entire villages.
The Cruisanan Navy was founded and heavily beefed up tp keep ships with the plague from our shores. Cruisana was generally spared suffering from the Plague because of this action by the then-queen Elizabeth Ann I.
The year 97 BP is considered when the plague began to spread, peaking around 20 BP, when early Cruisanan proto-scientists found the cause to be infected rats, spread by trading ships. Rat extermination and better hygiene practices led to the rapid drop in plague cases.
An early King of the current dynasty (Padraig VII) proclaimed the Plague over and started the years at 1 AP. This was really an economic decision that allowed Cruisanan ships to once again trade with other countries.
