Health

The study of health in the World of Teréth End is a science mired in primitive theories and practices relative to the advanced studies of magic and war. The “science” of health has been impeded by the “magics” of healing (e.g, Halra, Vorádrū). Developments of science and magic are both funded by the noble and the wealthy. Because many of the world’s wealthy have access to magicians or priests capable of mending wounds or dispelling illness, very little money and interest has been allotted to developing the “science” of medicine.

Although many basics are understood, some are not. For instance, there is no accepted germ theory in the World of Teréth End. Investigations and advances regarding pathogen transmission have never developed due to alternative means of dealing with sickness and disease.
