For the majority of the Attovian continent sickness is believed to have been brought to the material world by Asthéneia Lord of Disease and that even after his Caging it remains as a material function of his Soul Memory. It is thought of by most researchers and learned individuals that falling ill is a kind of Meyda-bombardment induced malady thanks to Asthéneia’s Soul Memory permeating the material world. The healing brought by Meyda-workers of the Tiken Field is the most consistent remedy, but if no one capable of Tiken Workings can be found quickly it is often suggested to move individuals roughly a mile from their common residence in the hopes that this will give their Soul some rest from Asthéneia’s corruption. Other natural remedies are used by herbalists and the Elves of Beleg gúl to varying degrees of success.
Outlier approaches to curing illnesses of all kinds do exist of course some of which are looked upon more poorly than others. Some anatomical experts have taken to removing the organs responsible for pains and discomfort resulting in a mixture of surprising success and catastrophic failure leaving their methods suspected by most.
There are occasionally Wizards who attempt to transfuse source less Meyda through an individual claiming such an action rids the Soul of the corruption. This is likened to the action of throwing water down a drainage ditch to disrupt and carry away refuse and filth that has begun to build up.
