What occurred to me part way thru the talk of plague was that for an "ordinary" plague was that races other than human will have different susceptibilities.
Say dwarves are practically immune. That will start folks saying that the dwarves are behind it.
Other variations as to who gets hit hard and who gets off lightly will have different effects.
Though I'd be tempted to have orcs be highly immune to most things, just on general principles (they're immune because most plagues ran thru them early on and they're all descended from the survivors :-)
