The wilting

The wilting was a horrid disease that was difficult to cure.

Effects
This affliction caused those who had contracted it to suffer extreme weariness and fevers. The condition would fluctuate in intensity, and was very unpredictable. It could only be cured via the correct application of herbs combined with powerful clerical magic. Those without access to aid would most likely perish in a matter of months.

Good access to shelter, and mood could ease the effects of the disease, but could not cure it.

Known cases
Biaste Ganderlay, the mother-in-law of Lord Feringal Auck was afflicted with the wilting for several months, and very close to death. However, the cleric of Helm, Watcher Beribold, managed to cure her.
