Hi all,

I am looking for further information on VITAS I and II. Can someone give me a timeline on both VITAS pandemics?

Everything I've read says that the epidemics started first in major developing cities (New Deli first, then Mexico City, Peking, etc.) From there it spread mainly through the developing worlds (India to the orient and the middle east, Mexico to Central America and South America). Developed countries were not hit as hard as countries like India but in both waves over 1/4 of the world's population was wiped out. Humans and Elves were the hardest hit (maybe a reason why there are fewer elves then any other metatype). Dwarves and Trolls were the least effected (though they could still be carriers).

Where in canon does it state this?

Most of the info came from the Wiki so it isnt' cannon. Cannon only states (from SR2 and SR3 core books) that VITAS hit Mexico the hardest in North America (one of the things that caused the colapse of Mexico and the rise of Azland), and Inda the hardest in Asia.
