Faith Cough
“The Light of the Arch Seraphs shall protect those who truly have faith.”
This is the official statement from the Watchers of the Faithful about
this virulent flu. Although not lethal, it is known
to strike on a regular basis, constantly resurfacing
when it was thought to be eradicated. Many
rumours say that it doesn’t strike equally among
the populations of Etharis, sparing the followers
of the the Divine Arch Seraphs and going after
their enemies.
This reputation is probably erroneous considering
the heavy toll taken by the Faith Cough among
the poor all over Etharis, with the exception
of the Castinellan Provinces, which seem to be
miraculously spared...
Transmission & Vectors

creature they must make a DC 13 Constitution

Cough on a failed save. If a creature’s saving
throw is successful, they become immune to Faith
Cough for 24 hours.
