Copies of this Missive are spread across Almaris with haste, and posted to every major notice board. In addition, major Clinics and Hospitals will find a copy of this missive in their mailbox, on their front desk, or both.  On some copies splotches of ink are present - on others, smears or miscopies. It is clear the author wrote this with urgency over presentation.

 

 

Medical Discoveries in the Treatment of Mori'Quessir Induced Illness

Preface

As Descendantkind continues to fight against the Mori’Quessir, there is no shortage of injuries and illness that befalls those who stand and fight. As Medical Professionals it is our job to render aid and care to our comrades, to pick them up and tend to their wounds so that they may return to the fight in the best shape possible. The Mori’Quessir, however, employs weapons beyond the usual blade, mace, and bow, and thus some injuries and illnesses require special attention, and unique treatment. In the recent decade I have personally come across two conditions, specifically caused by the Mori’Quessir and their insectoid allies and unholy weapons. As I cannot find any publications on how these illnesses are treated, I have decided to publish my findings with the larger medical community, for the one who suffers most from the withholding of information is our patients. If you are a medical professional and have discovered a cure to an illness caused by the Mori’Quessir, please send a letter to Haus Weiss, or consider drafting your own publication. If sufficient letters are sent, I will consider a larger publication, dedicated specifically to injuries and illnesses caused by the Mori’Quessir and their treatments. 

 

Mori’Quessir Spider Venom - Symptoms and Treatments

 

If bitten by a spider of the Mori’Quessir, one will begin to notice tiredness and fatigue in a patient, before they soon slip into an unconscious state.  Tranquil Draught, if given immediately after venom is injected, will temporarily halt all visible symptoms of the venom for the duration of the potion - however, the venom will take full effect immediately after the Tranquil Draught has worn out of the patient's body. It is recommended one use Tranquil Draught to keep the Patient Ambulatory so they may seek further treatment, continue fighting if absolutely necessary, or otherwise remain alert, awake, and mobile

 

To fully treat a patient who has been injected with Mori’Quessir Spider Venom, a patient needs to have the venom removed from their body. This can be done in a number of ways, but the consumption of One serving of Alabaster Leaf is the most efficient way.

 

  Mori’Quessir Fungal Sludge - Symptoms and Treatments

 

The Mori’Quessir Fungal Sludge is a liquid of inky consistency, which does not rub off on cloth or in water. The Mori’Quessir appears to employ it in some kind of cloud that settles into a sludge after some time. If one is immersed in this fog or sludge and is unlucky enough to inhale or get this substance in their eyes, they will find themselves blinded to a large extent, as well as find themselves in significant respiratory distress. Coughing and impaired respiratory function will arise, with choking a possibility if the substance is not removed from the lungs. 

 

To treat Inhaled Mori’Quessir Fungal Sludge, or Sludge that has settled on the eyes, skin, cloth, or any other surface, one should prepare a solution of Dwarf’s Pumpkin Oil mixed with water, heated as needed:

• For Application to non-living surfaces the Solution may be room temperature.

• For Applications to living surfaces such as skin or eyes, the Solution should be lukewarm or warm, but Not Boiling.

• For Application in cases of inhalation, the steam produced by Boiling the Solution should be inhaled through both nose and mouth by the patient until all traces of the sludge are removed from the body.

It should be noted that those without the sludge in their respiratory system who inhale the Solution Steam will produce a burning sensation. In Addition, patients who have had the sludge rinsed from their eyes with the solution will find their vision remains blurred for One Saint’s Day.

[ContestedSnow 776]

Viktor var Ruthern nodded slightly as he read the Weiss missive from his quarters in Druzstra Keep, the teen's expression set sternly. He struck his first Mori when he was just a boy, but he was certain there were many more to come yet. The war was not through yet.

 

"Dobry work, Lord Haus. Now et es up to the Brotherhood to learn et well." He murmured, before pushing to a stand, and making to collect his bow.

Audo Weiss pulled a shoddily-printed missive from the wall as he gazed over the information. At his heels, a stark-white yet quickly growing direwolf pup cast its gaze upwards - but it moved to patiently sit. Perhaps his brother wasn't as inclined as him towards the actual fighting, but he was fighting in his own way - and that was something he could be proud of. Finally, there was something to admire with no if, ands, buts, or lies about it. 

Now if only Carolus could issue an ongoing beastiary...

To the good Ser Weiss,

 

The spider venom of which you speak is localized to a specific type of spider called the Whitespinner. Whitespinners act a singular being, rather then their own individuals, and will swarm victims to bite them. One must be astutely aware of the affects of removing the venom from the body, as the victim will be overwhelmed with the pain as the anesthetic effect is more or less, washed away.  I recommend continued dosage of Tranquil Draughts until the patient is safely away from the site of danger.

 

Submergence in a warm bath prepared with a balm of Alabaster Leaf is preferable in cases of swarm victims as we've seen here out in the Marches. The best indicator of a swarm victim is the acrid scent of bile, as Whitespinner Venom seems to be utilized to dissolve prey, hence the paralytic and anesthetic quality of the venom. It's unsure where the Whitespinners are from originally but we in the March have been identify a few traits of their nests in order to avoid them. . . 

 

1. Webs of stickier quality then normal spidersilk.

Whitespinner Silk is capable of catching a blade untorn.

 

2. Hollow Corpses

From what I can tell, Whitespinners are a picky predator,

they seldom eat the whole corpse. I recommend burning any

corpses you find, as I fear they may use them for nesting.

 

3. Mutated Creatures

This aims to be particularly true of the Whitespinner Nest that stretches

between the Barrows and Amathea. Creatures are strangely afflicted by

their continued existance among Whitespinners, such as a

Deepsnake developing spider-like qualities (additional eyes, legs, etc).

 

Last of all- you must remember that Whitespinners loathe the light, nearly as much as they loathe descendant kind. The light of a lantern and the burn of a Will O' Bottle is safe keeping well enough.

Onon seemed rather proud and happy about hearing about the fact Haus has contributed a good bit on the war medical field just saying to himself  "Great! No suprise though, he is one of the best if not the best around in standard medicine!"  Nod noding his head to himself before continuing to go about his day

[TeawithFrisket 2615]

The Crown Princess of Helious took intreasted as one of her servant ladies gave her the missive. She took read, adding it to her journal of different notes.

 

“Haus Weiss Hmm?”

[teeylin 974]

One Colborn in particular reads this over quickly. He had no idea the Mori even had such means of attack... but, then, he hadn't interacted with them much, only their little underlings.

 

Towards the end of the document, he nods approvingly, making his way over to show this to his father. @Kaladin Stormblessed

 

"Gudi job, Haus... Ve really need everything ve can get."

[critter 2468]

Fabian hastily takes notes from the missive in his own healer's journal, bobbing his head as he vows to "pester dear Haus for further counsel..." soon. Perhaps over tea.

[tadabug2000 3494]

Via Weiss had immediately procured a copy of her own. It may have some ink splotches, but it was still legible and therefore more then good enough!

 

Her gaze slipped over the missive, and she frowned. Nothing on the plagued skin she saw induced by the Great Locusts. She still didn't know how to help that, save for what little the patient mentioned after she stopped their bleeding and stabilized them.

 

Nonetheless, she took note of the other treatments, read them over and over as she tried to imprint them in her mind. She'll know for next time because she knew deep down there will be a next time.

Spoiler

Firress Seregon,

 

Thank you for your letter - I've come across these Whitespinners before and what I'm assuming to be the mutated Deepsnake you mention. The particular Whitespinners I came across had stingers in addition to jaws per the drawing, but they behaved as described - incredibly fearful of fire and light. 

 

 I worry that repeated usage of Tranquil Draught could result in longer term problems, but that is a luxury most cannot consider - especially if the venom dissolves the patient in addition to the other symptoms caused.  

 

I've been lucky enough to never come across a victim of a swarm attack as you describe, though I will keep the treatment in mind should one ever present. Perhaps it would be a good idea to start documenting a list of Mori'Quessir induced ails and treatments - I imagine they're only going to become more common across Almaris. Best of Luck in your Medical Endeavors.

Haus Weiss

The father in question, Ser Baldrum Colborn would read the missive thoroughly "Haus did a pretty gudi job here, but I am nejt really gudi in treating injuries mik son."

Kin rubber the lower part of his leg as he read the missive. "Glad I was able to help in some way" he chuckled to himself as he then when back to prepping some more paint to draw.

Ser Weiss,

 

I invite you to come meet with me in the Marches. Our Scholarium is quite nice. Be careful on the road here, though. There's all sorts of chaos around here. Maybe letter me, before you do, though.
