Unholy beasts could mean Daedra, of which Herma Mora being a Daedric prince, may control many lesser Daedra(like the Seekers and Lurkers) the incurable plague part though... not sure.

Also, Herma-Mora is said to be the enemy of all the skaal/nords, so him being the driving force behind the night of tears wouldn't seem too out of character for the Skaal portrayal of Herma-Mora. Yeah perhaps Mora was the one who caused them to attack each other.
