How about drinking a tea of lye (caustic soda)?  Yes, it would need to very weak, and the cure could be as bad as the disease, potentially worse.

Lye is a strong base, which neutralizes acid, so my reasoning is that since the critter is at home in an acid environment, a base environment would be lethal for it.


"In extreme cases, healers have been known to use Lye Tea.  Because of the deadly effects of ingesting lye, the healer must be very skilled in order to get the strength correct.  Too weak, and the Gulletcramp will survive, and the patient not only deals with it, but lye poisoning as well.  Too strong, and the patient will a very painful death at the hands of those who would save them."

I recall that I originally wanted this parasite to be a little bit more deadly, but have since softened my intentions.

Alt, that is an extremely sound suggestion. But I do like what Seagazer proposed as well. Perhaps I can incorporate both of them.

Okay, thanks. Perhaps I can sort it all out for my masterwork later.

Placeholder, undeveloped. A temporary affair at any rate.

That's what I thought, but what about, "610 - Founding of Kingdom Z, coronation of King A, supported by the 4 "archbishops"."
18 November 2015, 22:10:41
Kingdoms were before Santhros, later there were provinces. A rough outline of Santharian history after Santhros can be found here BTW.

Artimidor, most of my confusion comes from Santharian history between 547 a.S and 1438. I thought Santharia was unified since Santhros, but then how were there other kingdoms?
18 November 2015, 11:39:21
What you mean with "Kingdom X", Seagazer? Any specific question?
18 November 2015, 08:03:46
Honest to Qu'prur, I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to Cyhalloi's orcs...

The more Santharian history I read, the more confused I get. Could someone who understands what Kingdom X is explain it to me?
