===Pamphlet #1 - Isiliosis And You===
The Royal Apothecary Soceity
A guide on how to cure Isiliosis and it's symptoms. For the afflicted and concerned
====Introduction====
Welcome to the Royal Apothecary Soceity's guide on how to survive the lethal disease; Isiliosis.
In this leaflet, you will directed to the correct locations on Azeroth where the reagents necessary to formulate a cure can be found.
Please note, that the Apothecarium is NOT responsible for the disease.
Isiliosis is a natural sickness, inflicted by a rare virus that is found naturally in the wilds of Feralas. A lethal strain recently resurfaced in the Ruins of Isildien. Adventurers are adviced to avoid the Ogres in this region.
Please do also note, that this leaflet is used for the well-being of both undead and living individuals, but has not yet been tested on animals, Orcs included, and thus do not attempt to cure lower-species with the specified remedy. If you do, the Apothecarium does not hold any responsibilities for dead, mutated or exploded pets.
====Symptoms====
Not sure whether you or your relatives has caught Isiliosis?
Worry no more!
On this page, you will learn whether your family is about to die or not!
This will, hopefully, assist you in helping your loved ones!
Symptoms of Isiliosis, aswell the chances of experiencing them:
* Death, 100% chance*
* Fever, 100% chance
* Joint aches, 100% chance
* Coughing, 100% chance
* Drowsiness, 95% chance
* Dizziness, 95% chance
* Vomitting, 90% chance
* Immobilization, 60% chance
* Interior hemorrhaging, 20% chance**
* Mindlessness, 2% chance
* Will occur, if the disease is left un-treated.
** May only occur if individual has existing blood vessel problems.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is vital you contain yourself immediately! Avoid contact with other sentient beings, including Orcs, and physical activity should be neglected to avoid exhaustion. The extent to which individuals are affected by the disease appears to vary greatly. It is however vital that all treat the infection with the greatest severity. Expect the worse and seek assistance!
====Reagents====
In order to cure yourself, you must bring a senior member of "The Apothecarium" a variety of reagents.
These reagents will be found in specific locations on Azeroth.
The reagents must under all circumstances kept pristine, if the cure is to be found useful, and not deadly.
Reagents:
* Bear Organ, the Plagued Bears of the Plaguelands
* Ripped Wing Webbings, the Dragon Whelps of the Badlands
* Sabertooth Fangs, the Frostsabers of Winterspring
* Threshadon Ambergris, the Deep Sea Threshadon of Darkshore
* Delicate Insect Wings, the Silithids of Silithus
* Shed Lizard Skin, the Pterrordaxes of Un'goro Crater
One of each of the listed items is required to formulate the remedy. Note that it is likely the infected individual shall be too ill to travel to such regions. Given that containment is our aim, it is strongly advised that friends or relatives of the inflicted locate the ingredients instead.
====Cure====
Once the reagents has been delivered to a senior member of The Apothecarium, you will be required to wait for the brewing of your cure to complete. The Apothecarium is currently based in New Agamand and Vengeance Landing, but if necessary our agents can be recalled to the Undercity to collect the ingredients.
The process may take one to two days, depending on the workers availability.
Once the remedy is complete, you will be asked to leave before drinking the substances.
Note: The fluid has been scientifically proven gross, and may induce vomitting.
We, The Apothecarium, hope we have been of assistance.
===Pamphlet #2 - Isiliosis and Hopefully Not You===
Isiliosis and Hopefully Not You!
Advice on how to avoid the disease and protect yourself from infection.
The Royal Apothecary Society is currently doing all that it can to protect you and your families from this lethal tropical disease. The strain is now confirmed as having traveled to Undercity and Silvermoon. It is likely that Orgrimmar has now also been contaminated, but confirmed cases are, thus far, few.
Isiliosis is an incredibly malignant disease with only one known cure, published on the pamphlet provided. It was first located in the wilds of Feralas, in the Ruins Isildien, where Ogres seem to carry, but are themselves resistant to, the infection.
We can find no obvious correlation between the diseases victims. Age does not seem a factor, neither does physical ability. However, thus far, a large number of those who originally contracted the disease have been magic-users of some kind. This includes arcane, holy and, it is speculated, shamanistic energy users.
Note: to avoid confusion, it should be noted that those who practice these magics are only slightly more likely to contract the disease in the first instance. But once it is contracted the symptoms develop at an identical rate on both magical and non-magical subjects.
For this reason, it is best to avoid the use of magic in any region where you suspect the disease may be lingering. The virus seems to be drawn to the energy of such activity. This also justify's why it is lethal to Forsaken. It feeds off the very energy which binds them - and should therefore be avoided by the living and unliving alike.
It also explains why the cure is the only known remedy. The virus draws strength from magical energy, although it primarily preys on physical tissue, and so any attempt to cure the disease through these means shall only strengthen it.
Once the virus infects the host, the time taken for symptoms to develop vary's from 1 day (in the most recent cases) to 1 month (in the original case). In addition death is equally unpredictable. Several individuals have fallen prey to the disease within 3 day's but others have, so far, lasted for over 1 month. Currently no reason for this resistance can be given. But the cure removes the threat of death entirely.
To avoid contracting the disease it is advised that:
* You do not enter heavily populated areas.
* You do not practice magic in such areas or in areas where the disease may have spread.
* You must cover your mouth as you travel in these areas to avoid infection.
* You should avoid any persons you suspect may be infected.
If you yourself become infected - please read the attached pamphlet. Gather the ingredients for the cure as soon as you can, it is strongly advised you find another individual to do so for you (since the disease shall otherwise travel with you). Present the ingredients to "The Apothecarium" for a cure.
We hope that this fresh information shall hope those struggling to cope with the current situation.
We ask you all to stay calm and vigilant. Further developments shall be published in all major cities.

Forum Thread
An overwhelming amount of posters have been pinned up around the Horde cities, angrily declaring their message in green ink
Orcs, Trolls, Sin'Dorei, Tauren, and even Forsaken!
If there is one thing all races of the Horde can agree on, it is the that the Royal Apothecary Society, which here on in is abbreviated to tRASh, constantly fails to live up to the standards that we expect of it! When it isn't poisoning our own troops or escalating a war with the Alliance we can neither fight nor afford, it is being completely ineffectual when it comes to curing its patients of diseases!
The latest offence on its long, long, long list, is Isiliosis! We at the "Trash the tRASh" campaign are utterly disgusted by the sheer sloth shown by the apothecaries when it comes to curing patients of the disease! Sufferers are told to gather the reagents, or, if they are incapable (which they often will be!), they are told to get a relative or friend to do it! Is this the advice of a respectable sector of the Horde? No! This reeks (perhaps even more than the apothecaries' experiments!) and smacks of bad planning. Just what use IS the tRASh?
Patients are given no help! There have even been reports that the apothecaries in charge of directly brewing the cures are demanding that sufferers assist! Why?! They are surely not THAT badly staffed? This is an unsustainable system which has costed lives, is costing lives, and will cost lives. Isiliosis is a deadly disease, as we have seen, and there is no help whatsoever.
Trash the tRASh therefore demands several things.
# Free assistance given to sufferers to gather the ingredients for the cure.
# More help points than simply "Undercity" and "Vengeance Landing".
# A promise that these cures will be produced solely by apothecaries, and not by the public.
# A full, written apology, signed by the heads of the tRASh.
In order to pressure the tRASh into fulfilling these requests, there shall be a PEACEFUL protest in Vengeance Landing on Sunday night at 20:00, the 17th of January. Anyone who can get there (Probably not the sufferings, but when have apothecaries ever cared about them, hmm?!) is encouraged to show up and lend their support to our campaign. Remember, it could be a loved one that is struck down, and you will be the one expected to gather the reagents! What an upside down world we live in!
