Malady Exposure

Exposure

There are many maladies that plague the world, and the mystery surrounding them only grows as one studies the effects they have on the minds of those exposed to them. Universal Maladies are sicknesses of reality, and since we are part of this reality, they can affect our minds as much as they affect the world.
This makes them exceptionally difficult to study, and even more so to fight back against them in search of a cure. While The Estoyan Pathfinders are working hard to eliminate the dilation of time and space brought on by Universal Vertigo ushering in an effective method of measuring time, , there are no such boons granted for the many others that slow progress to a healthy reality.

People respond by avoiding areas under the influence of a malady. The world is a very isolated place and there are many who have no idea some nations even exist.

Treatment

There are no true ways to treat exposure. Time allows the wounds to heal somewhat but almost every malady has a permanent effect on the mind. The only method that's can be referred to as a "cure" will be the therapy brought on by Universal Mania. This can often do more harm than good if the individual over exposes themselves, what is the only way to nullify the many effects brought on by the other maladies. Arcane Energy has shown no improvement when used, and even divine intervention cannot guarantee a complete reversal of the effects.
