The Dancing Plague

Overview
Throughout the late 2nd and 3rd era there has been a great plague that had ravaged the lands, only known as the Dancing Plague. The Dancing Plague refers to when an individual repeatedly swings their arms, with clenched fists, from the back of their body to the front, on each side. Other names for the plague including "Flossing" or "The Floss"

Flossing has been observed throughout the eras at seemingly random intervals with quite literally no connection between them, the plagues would almost always result in the deaths of everyone infected minus one sole gnome.

Flossing Plague of the Great War
During the battle of Pankstank in the Great War one company of orcs, the "ORC BOYZ" had been decimated by an instance of The Floss. The resulting casualties resulted in the orcs loosing the battle, though historians have said that "fighting over a single bench did not change the tides of war one bit." During this plague one orc was said to have returned from the forest after collecting firewood, doing the dance before forcing his comrades to do the dance as well. A gnome attack squad had planned an attack had attempted to execute an attack during the confusion, but they too had been forced to do The Floss, but before anymore causalities could be created, both parties were hit by a mortar.

There were no survivors.
