Start Black Death event chain

What it does

Every ruler:
- If
  Is played by a person
  in_diplomatic_range = scope:black_death_holder
  No owned story:
  Then
  Event epidemic_events.5999
- Every liege or above:
  - Where:
    Is played by a person
    in_diplomatic_range = scope:black_death_holder
    No owned story:
  - Event epidemic_events.5999

• the game's own tooltip text · ◦ our reading of the script line · code the script where neither exists

“They” is whatever it runs on (the scope it is called in). The scripted triggers and effects it calls link to their own pages; $PARAMETERS$ stay as written: each call fills them in.
