Marchosias In demonology, Marchosias is a great and mighty Marquis of Hell, commanding thirty legions of demons. In the Ars Goetia, the first book of "The Lesser Key of Solomon" (17th century), he is depicted as a wolf with gryphon's wings and a serpent's tail, spewing fire from his mouth, but at the request of the magician he may take the form of a man. He is a strong fighter and gives true answers to all questions, and is very faithful to the magician in following his commands. Before his fall he belonged to the angelic order of Dominations (or Dominions), and when he was bound by Solomon he told him that after 1,200 years he hoped to return to Heaven ("unto the Seventh Throne").

Firestorm A firestorm is a conflagration which attains such intensity that it creates and sustains its own wind system. It is most commonly a natural phenomenon, created during some of the largest bushfires and wildfires. Although the word has been used to describe certain large fires, the phenomenon's determining characteristic is a fire with its own storm-force winds from every point of the compass. The Black Saturday bushfires and the Great Peshtigo Fire are possible examples of forest fires with some portion of combustion due to a firestorm, as is the Great Hinckley Fire. Firestorms have also occurred in cities, usually as a deliberate effect of targeted explosives such as occurred as a result of the aerial firebombings of Hamburg, Dresden, and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

Masque of the Red Death (Ravenloft) Masque of the Red Death is a campaign setting for the "Dungeons & Dragons" role-playing game, named after the Edgar Allan Poe short story of the same name. The setting was published after the release of the "Ravenloft" campaign setting in 1994 as "Masque of the Red Death and Other Tales", and is regarded as an add-on for that line. "Masque of the Red Death" has many of the same qualities as "Ravenloft", such as "power checks" and restricted magic, including limited planar travel. Unlike Ravenloft, the location of the adventures is "Gothic Earth", an 1890s version of Earth where fantasy creatures exist only in the shadows of civilization. Many notable real-life figures or 19th century literary characters are included for the players to interact with, including Van Helsing, Jack the Ripper and Dorian Gray.

Warriors (arc) Warriors: The Prophecies Begin is the first story arc in the "Warriors" juvenile fantasy novel series about anthropomorphic feral cats. The arc comprises six novels which were published from 2003 to 2004: "Into the Wild", "Fire and Ice", "Forest of Secrets", "Rising Storm", "A Dangerous Path", and "The Darkest Hour". The novels are published by HarperCollins under the pseudonym Erin Hunter, which refers to authors Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry and plot developer/editor Victoria Holmes. The sub-series details the adventures of the housecat Rusty, who joins ThunderClan, one of four Clans of feral cats living in a forest which adjoins the human town in which he originally lives. The arc's major themes deal with forbidden love, the concept of nature versus nurture, and characters being a mix of good and bad. Though the novels have appeared on the "New York Times" Bestseller List and have been nominated for several awards, none of the novels in the "Warriors" sub-series have won a significant literary award.

1770–1772 Russian plague The Russian plague epidemic of 1770–1772, also known as the Plague of 1771, was the last massive outbreak of plague in central Russia, claiming between 52 and 100 thousand lives in Moscow alone (1/6 to 1/3 of its population). The bubonic plague epidemic that originated in the Moldovan theatre of the 1768–1774 Russian-Turkish war in January 1770 swept northward through Ukraine and central Russia, peaking in Moscow in September 1771 and causing the Plague Riot. The epidemic reshaped the map of Moscow, as new cemeteries were established beyond the 18th-century city limits.
