There is a variety of common and esoteric [[afflictions]] in the realms of Achaea, including but certainly not limited to: [[darkshade]], [[epilepsy]], [[asthma]], and [[anorexia]]. In general, you must use [[herbs]] to heal these illnesses, though some classes have their own healing abilities. Cures for the ailments listed above might be the ingestion of [[ginseng]] (for darkshade), [[goldenseal]] (for epilepsy), and [[kelp]] (for asthma), and an application of [[epidermal]] salve (for anorexia). A list of most afflictions and their cures can be found in [http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?q=CURELIST HELP CURELIST], or you can browse our category of [[afflictions]]. | There is a variety of common and esoteric [[afflictions]] in the realms of Achaea, including but certainly not limited to: [[darkshade]], [[epilepsy]], [[asthma]], and [[anorexia]].

In addition to these methods of travel, there are plenty of miscellaneous tools and abilities. For example, those of the [[Magi]] class can create temporary portals between locations, and [[Serpent]]s can splice [[wormholes]]. If you obtain a pair of [[artefact]] [[Atavian wings|wings]], you can use them to travel high above the clouds, to a location not unlike the Ring of Portals! | In addition to these methods of travel, there are plenty of miscellaneous tools and abilities.

[[Death]] is usually considered an unpleasant occurance. It is caused by the loss of one's health in its entirety, thus severing the soul from the body. As long as you are dead, you will walk the lands as a soul, potentially affected by the influences of such objects as eye [[sigils]]. You will also slowly lose [[experience]]. There are a number of ways to return to the living, but few may be undertaken on one's own. The only foolproof way to return from death is to PRAY FOR SALVATION. This will transport you to the [[Halls of Maya]], which you will walk for a short time before meeting with the Lady Herself to be returned to life. | [[Death]] is usually considered an unpleasant occurance.
