Snow Fever is an infectious disease that tends to crop up in the north of Valdemar during the long, harsh winters. With people crowded together to stay warm, it can decimate a village if the residents don't get help immediately.
Symptoms are "High fever, delirium, a red rash, and swelling under the jaw and the arms."[1] Without treatment from Healers, death is not uncommon.[2]
Snow Fever has afflicted both Waymeet[1] and Langenfield[3] at different times.
