The Hylund Shits is characterized by stomach upset and diarrhea. It is caused by microorganisms, primarily bacteria, viruses, or parasites that contaminate local water and food supplies due to inefficient treatment standards in the Hylund region. Due to the nature of a fantasy setting, there are not many existing people who have researched or are even aware of such things as microorganisms, bacteria, viruses or parasites, and thus in the Hylund region where the local water is particularly sketchy, and used to various cooking and supposed cleaning processes, all sorts of issues tend to occur.

• For the sake of this campaign needing an excuse for two missing players one evening, two Player Characters, specifically Jules & Walker Florida Cleric have been declared to come down with a wicked case of the Hylund Shits and could not travel with The Party at a game session on Oct 27th, 2026.
  • The remaining party members during that session were told that a special herb exists in the southeast quadrant of the Hylund Forest which could greatly help speed up recovery time and symptoms for Jules & Walker Florida Cleric. They however declined to go looking for it and it was declared that the herb's name is the “Shit Herb”. This is part of the local Herbalism ecosystem if anyone wishes to explore it further.
