Medical Science

The study of medical science and practice of medicine is unique in Eirath with a constant back and forth between secular and religious knowledge. Prior to the events of the Divine Struggle, medical science was largely considered Heresy, and those who were found studying medicine (and most scientific venues) were put to the death. Since that time, religious restrictions were relaxed, and research in the field of medical science has begun to flourish.

Despite the advances in medical science, magical healing is still the preferred and more efficient way of healing. What takes a week to do naturally can be accomplished in moments with magic. The main reason magically healing is unavailable for most is the costs associated with it. However as the field advances crossovers between the two have already begun.
