Hatred of Wilderness

Another cruel occurance from The Wilderness is this fungal organism entering the body through the respiratory complex. The first stage is the infestation of your throat and lungs. In this stage there is still the possibility of cure through various herbal extracts supported by magical extraction. This already is a complex undertaking if not started right after exposition to the spores. In the first stage you begin to have respiratorial problems, coughing and short breath, making movement and heavy labour hard. People have to be locked due to their breath holding contagious spores
In the second stage the problems really begin. The fungus finds it's way into your body and begins to grow through it, resulting in relentlessly growing pain, loss of mobility and organic function. At this stage we stopped to treat patients for a long time, just for research we did, as we found no means to kill, extract or disarm the fungus at the point it entered the body. We were just able to ease the pain of patients, who had week longs of screaming while enduring the pain. Earlier a lot of Lucemi have been just redeemed by death from their suffering. At the later evolution of this stages there are also outbrakes of their spores on the surface of their skin
The third stage is still a loss, but meanwhile we luckily found ways to avert this disaster from victims. This stage is arrived when the fungus gets hold of your brain. Patients at this point are in some way redeemed from their suffering, when their brain is touched they quickly loose any means to be aware of the torture, they loose control over their bodies and stand up from their hospital bed, trying to wander in the direction of the darkness of The Wilderness
A lot of villages, on the border to the wilds in particular, had do be burned down in history along with their residents due to heavy outbreaks of this fungus. A few years ago we had a breakthrough on the cure. Certain diets nearly stop the growth of the fungus and we gain a lot time to extract it with magic healing from the body, a long complex process. The central success was the fact that the fungus doesn't seem to like sunlight, the golden light Lapita exerts in particular. We found a way of dissolving lapita dust in oil to bring it into the body, then it is activated and kills of the fungus with support of the other measurements.
