Health & Illness

Low health or hygiene — or plain bad luck — can bring illness. Each disease drains your health daily until you recover, naturally or through treatment. A household physician and good remedies greatly improve your odds.

Illness	Severity	Health drain/day	Description
🤧 Winter Chill	1	2	A streaming cold and a rattling cough.
🥶 The Ague	2	3	Shivering fits and fever that come and go.
🚽 The Bloody Flux	3	5	A dangerous griping of the bowels.
🥵 Sweating Fever	3	6	A burning fever that lays strong men low.
🫩 The Pox	4	5	Weeping sores and a long, wasting sickness.
🫁 Consumption	4	4	A wasting of the lungs. It lingers, and it kills.

Beyond illness, a hard life leaves wounds and scars, and age brings chronic conditions. Rest, remedies and a skilled physician keep you on your feet.
