West Kilotri Pox

Locality & Acquisition
First documented in Kilotri in the Mwangi Expanse, the pox is spread via contact infection.

Pirates and sailors are at risk, as travellers hacing recovered from the pox don't realise they are still contagious, and pass along their infection.

Symptoms

 * Nausea
 * Swollen joints
 * Painful rashes of tiny purple boils

Treatment & Prognosis
Treatments include oitments and potions, and are usually effective to varying degrees. Once the boils burst, wounds must be kept clean. Outright reglect of this condition usually leads to scarring and permanent joint damage. In the worst untreated cases, skin infections that can become gangrenous occure.

Individuals with West Kilotri Pox are known to remain contagious for some time, even after sucessful treatment.

Although exposure to the pox increases immunity to subseqent infections, it's not uncommon to have multiple rounds of infection within a population.

Vulnerability & Immunity
Scaled races such as Lizardfolk suffer a particularly bad time from West Kilotri Pox infections, and are harder to treat as the boils form underneath their scales. Furred races such as Catfolk are less suseptible to contagion, possibly due to their fur acting as a barrier to infection.

Campaign Events

 * Recruits were asked by Fosen Dal if they had ever suffered from this disease before they would be considered for work on the Widow's Thunder.
