Rilogr
The swamps to the west are known by the locals as the Lake of Despair; this is Azilezia’s domain. According to the tales of her cultists, she is a demon associated with disease and suffering. Prolonged exposure to these swamps leads to various ailments, the most terrible of which is rilogrification, accompanied by unbearable pain and irreversible changes in living organisms.
The first stage is a common cold; the symptoms are no different from ordinary ones. The body may be able to fight off the infection, and healing potions can also help. A piece of the Fruit of Arcadia (0.05) in the morning and evening will guarantee recovery if taken for several days.
The second stage is a severe fever. The patient’s immune system may still be able to cope with the disease on its own, but the chances of this are slim. A healing potion will help, as will a cocktail of milk and the Fruit of Arcadia (0.5).
The third stage is a deep sleep. The patient does not see dreams or nightmares and does not wake up even when their body interacts with external stimuli.
The fourth stage is when the patient’s body begins to change, causing intense pain. At this stage, the patient usually loses their mind.
The fifth stage is decomposition; the patient becomes a Rilogr.
Upon death, a Rilogr explodes and spreads spores to everyone nearby. This is another way to contract Azilezia’s curse. In this case, the disease progresses more smoothly, without the stages listed above. Depending on the strength of the immune system, the patient may become a Rilogr in a few hours, or it may take several hundred.
At the third and fourth stages, as well as after infection with spores, only a special antidote prepared by an alchemist can help. Unfortunately, by the time I managed to develop this remedy, most of the members of our expedition were already dead.
