Scarab Plague and the Afflicted Connected?

are the Scarab Plague and the Afflicted Connected? I heard that abaddon was behind them|||don't this belong in the lore forum?

as for the afflicted it were shiro who spreaded the plague which turns a mortal into a afflicted.

as for the scarab plague I don't know|||*Spoiler*

Well the afflicted are diseased by their contact with Shiro who are a pawn of Abaddon.

I think there's some speculation in the Lore forum that the Scarab Plague was caused by Dhuum (the former god of death) who is in league with Abaddon.|||Moved to the Lore Forum...|||Personally, I don't see a connection. The Affliction is a spiritual disease. The creatures you are seeing are actually the corrupted souls of those who have died. Whereas, the Scarab Plague, from descriptions in-game, was a disease characterized by boils that then hatched into scarab larvae, when the larvae matured, they either ate the inards of the host, or hatched forth from the skin causing massive systems damage. So, no, I don't think they are related, as the symptoms are completely different.|||i'd love to see the sources on that QA...sounds like good stuff|||Quote:

A Perplexing Plague quest (The Astrarium outpost, NF character only) and its 4 followup quests give you nice amout of lore an on that.|||Zweistein beat me to it.
