Hi chaps, bit of a video game fan here. I was thinking about what could constitute a kool dark fantasy Setting/ and I thought that this(^) would be a scenario that could really evoke the ‘world is ending’ vibe that makes dark fantasy fun. It's also within a semi-traditional medieval(ish) technology zone,which is a bit of a bonus.

Setting would be one where the Americas are discovered in the 12th/13th century and europeans and/or middle easterners start flooding there in the 14th to escape the plague, only to find that even the new mysterious continent is wracked with disease. I definitely think the ‘God is destroying all of humanity’ theme really fits well with exploration of an unmapped land, newly discovered ruins of weird civilizations, castles in the great forests of NA and Bizar cathedrals in southern jungles.

So chaps if you could, would you tell me if this is plausible, weather it would be anything like I described it or any cool ideas about what might present in this setting or what might have occurred?

I have very little understanding of this time period so I might have incorrect views or ask silly questions.

Thanks for anything you offer chaps.
