Ludianirus

This sickness is one of the more deadlier diseases in recent history.

Transmission & Vectors

It spreads through direct contact with an infected individual. Touch or breathing the same air can result in receiving the Ludianirus sickness.

Causes

While research on why it surfaces among people is unknown. We have discussed this in length with several doctors through out Rasselfall. They think it's due to the hard working conditions of it's people and their habit of helping their the ill even when they should not.

Symptoms

The symptoms are not displayed until five hours after contraction. After five hours the symptoms are as follows, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, red large blisters on the skin, blurry vision, fever, and dizzy spells.

Treatment

There is no physical remedy. The symptoms can be weakened and stalled for an extra day through Sydney Grass Root and Melf Flower. Creating a simple tea by boiling the root for one hour and extracting the nectar from the flower will slow the effects. However, this is not a cure. Solar Magic is currently the most effective way of dealing with the disease.

Prognosis

Upon getting the disease, you have about one day to receive medical or magical help. Failing to do so results in death.

Sequela

Once a person survives the disease, they are completely immune afterward.

Affected Groups

All sapien mammals are affected. Surprisingly Scions and Elves are not affected and it's believed that their connect to magic had made them immune.

Epidemiology

There was one major outbreak in Rasselfall which decimated the small communities and towns. It's suggested that the people take in the infected person and try to nurse them back to health. The sickness spreads quickly through the town and within the day, everyone could be dead.

History

The Ludian Plague was named after the disease, Ludianirus, decimated the Rasselfall people on the outskirts of cities. Since little magical care is out on the farms and small towns, there is no way to fight it. It wasn't till a group of missionaries from the Solar Church intervene. they traveled the land and cured people who had the disease with magic.

"Luckily any large populated place can receive care against this, but the local priests need to keep an eye out to prevent it from spreading to other local villages."
