Dwarven Heart

Dwarven Heart is the name of a mysterious new virus that resulted from an attempt to find a cure for the Swine Flue that had gone wrong. It is an extremely contagious, bloodborne\airborne\waterborne virus that causes its hosts to suffer violent convulsions, nausea, vomiting and eventually total organ failure and death.
==History==
===Origins===
Dwarven Heart's origins can be traced back to the early 1990s. British scientists were desperate to find a vaccine for the Swine Flu, but the experiment backfired, instead creating a devastating new virus that could destroy the immune system in days. Fearing a massive panic, the scientific community decided to bury the project while at the same time attempting to destroy the virlal samples. Unfortunately, news of the failed experiment were soon leaked to the public thanks to the international cult organization Raven. 
===Outbreaks===
Main article: First Outbreak
==Infection and symptoms==
Dwarven's Heart is spread through blood contact, in addition to saliva. It is extremely infectious, with even one drop of infected fluid being enough to infect a person. Once a person is infected, the virus begins its slow, painful journey to total infection and death. Symptoms include violent convulsions (due to the virus attacking the immune system as it infects the human).
Once the infection is complete, the person's capillaries begin to hemorrhage. The host begins to cough blood and bleed from the eyes, nose and mouth. The eyes become bloodshot and the person may feel extremely fatigued.
==Treatment==
As of 2017, there is no known treatment method for the virus, but there are means of suppressing symptoms, including antibiotics (the virus is weakened by antibiotics). However, people can be protected from this virus, as a vaccine to prevent infections was introduced in mid summer of 2017. 
==Trivia==
*The virus is similar to the Rage Virus from the 28 Days Later franchise in that it causes violent convulsions and blood-red eyes.
*The "Total Organ Failure" symptom of the virus is a reference to the video game Plague Inc.
