A Physician at the Mine

Diagnosis Under Pressure Reading the bodies Hohsalle examines the dead and recognizes a pattern consistent with Black Wolf Fever. The ancient disease threatens to return, but the evidence remains incomplete. A living clue The escaped captive may have survived infection. Hohsalle asks for help tracking him, treating Van as more valuable than any medical specimen because he is a person who lived.

The Hunt Patients

Treatment in an Outbreak The disease returns When the Rochai attack the royal hunt, Hohsalle moves quickly to wash wounds, isolate patients, and monitor symptoms. He knows the rash can precede a rapid decline. Decisions under uncertainty Experimental medicines offer hope but carry risks. Hohsalle insists that treatment decisions must serve the patient’s survival, even when fear and religious restrictions complicate consent.

A Treatment Breakthrough

A Risked Intervention Limuelle’s return As Izam worsens, Limuelle proposes Kokalu sedation to suppress lethal convulsions while the boy’s body fights the disease. The intervention is a gamble, not a proven cure. Survival through collaboration Hohsalle, Milalle, Limuelle, and Mana contribute different knowledge. Some patients survive, but the mixed results deepen the investigation rather than ending it.
