Whedabra

*"It seemed like I was walking into a city marked by plague. I was admittedly afraid to walk near them, worried I'd catch what they have. However, one kindly walked up to me and said, 'Don't worry, stranger. You can't catch what we have unless you live here for years.'*

*I suppose it doesn't need to be said, but that didn't quite put me at ease. It didn't matter, though. Even with their staggeringly small supply, they fed me bread and water. The bread was filled with weevils and the water tasted stagnant, but it kept me alive."*

--Turth Ravenstriker, Totha Kingdom Runaway Fugitive

### From All Casts

As any creature could catch a disease, so to can any creature become Whedabra. The most common of such are humans, as their natural willpower has allowed them to overcome the odds. However, other races survived within the regions of Yaogil before it was fragmented from the mainland. Dwarves and half-orcs were tough to survive the harsh environment, and dragonborn were able to overpower most anything that needed to be subdued. All of these races, plus more, become one in the same under the wave of darkness.

### Weak But Resilient

Despite their crude upbringing, Whedabra are found to be both extremely hardy and fragile creatures. Their ability to resist the miasma naturally has baffled all manners of scientists and arcanists, and many Greylight cities have looked towards them to see if there was a way for everyone to survive in the darkness. Against other diseases, however, Whedabra fall victim to flu and other mundane ailments frequently. The dichotomy of resilience against natural vs created diseases continues to confuse people across Mura.
