BLACK DEATH (BUBONIC PLAGUE)

This disease is famous for how quickly it spreads by touch, even while incubating with no apparent symptoms. Black death begins as a painful inflammation of the underarms or in the groin. These buboes (egg-sized, hard cysts) aim their influence straight at the lungs, which gradually fill with phlegm until the victim drowns from within. The best treatment for the black death is to rebalance the patient's phlegm and blood humours. The fastest method is simple blood-letting, intended to stimulate the body's production of clean blood. Because infection starts in the least clean areas of the body, arcane healers associate the black death with poor bathing habits. Hot baths in heavily salted water both help to heat the blood and stay the infection through the preserving properties of the salt.

CAMP FEVER (TYPHUS)

When too many creatures live in close quarters (such as in a war camp), camp fever is close behind. It begins as sudden headache, fever, and muscular pain. Within a week, a black mark appears on the victim's chest or trunk, signaling the presence of poisonous levels of melancholy underneath the skin. From there the mark quickly spreads across the body, killing the victim one inch of necrotic skin and muscle at a time. A positive outlook is vital to the victim's survival, as gloomy thoughts serve only to increase the fever's production of melancholy.
