The Mire
Section titled “The Mire”Venom damages you over time and prevents healing; webs slow movement. Bogwalker’s Balm protects against both for six minutes.
Cold lands
Section titled “Cold lands”Away from home, shelter and fire, Highland and ridge cold can hinder recovery. Night, storms, rain and being soaked can make it worse. A Fur Mantle or Warming Draught protects against cold; a leather cap and bone broth reduce its severity. The draught lasts six minutes.
