Description (Healing Blade Lore) Yersinia pestis are one of the most ancient scourges to haunt the globe, and have been responsible for the deaths of countless other worlds in the deep past, starting even before the Apothecary Healers began offering protection to Soma and other lands. In fact, these Pestilence agents were only discovered centuries [...]

Description (Healing Blade Lore) Haemophilus influenzae are some of Soma’s most ancient demons, first described over 100 years ago. But despite a century of experience fighting these foes and research on their destructive habits—including the detailing of their entire genome—their attacks are still poorly understood, and they still pose a significant threat to the life [...]

Description (Healing Blade Lore) Don’t let the name fool you. Streptococcus pneumoniae attack more than just the Respiro Forest. These villains can wreak havoc on a wide range of systems in Soma, including the land surrounding Buccal Bay, the Aural Canals, and even Sententia. They are similar to those of other cocco-demons by their sensitive [...]

Description (Healing Blade Lore) Francisella tularensis are nasty Lords that have terrorized Soma for nearly a century. Known as rabbit demons, they can tear apart the boundary wall as well wreak havoc on the interior towns and cities. The damage they cause depends on which of the four F. tularensis armies are attacking, and where [...]

Description (Healing Blade Lore) Treponema pallidum are crafty Lords who penetrate Soma’s boundary by charming their way onto boats heading for the Southern Harbor adjacent to Fecal Outlet. They uses their feminine wiles to stow away on cargo ships, full of unsuspecting and impressionable young workers, then spread their terror across Soma once inside the [...]

Description (Healing Blade Lore) Nocardia asteroides are wicked foes that can wreak havoc on nearly every inch of Soma’s once serene habitat. They can live harmoniously around the rim of the Buccal Bay, but when they begin to meander inland, particularly to areas already under attack by other Lords, the consequences can be devastating. One [...]

Description (Healing Blade Lore) Helicobacter pylori are formidable members of the Gram Negative Legion that primarily affect the central regions of Soma’s aqueduct.  They take advantage of the waste produced by Soma’s natural aqueduct inhabitants to generate the energy they need to survive, and have adapted to the relatively low oxygen levels of the semi-aquatic [...]

Description (Healing Blade Lore) Proteus mirabilis are unusual in their swift, swarming attacks. They travel synchronously through the Aqueduct, and occasionally across the land, like a tight-knit bird flock or school of fish. The effect is the amoeboid-type movement of the crowds in a large city, and the devastation they leave in their path quickly [...]

Description (Healing Blade Lore) Bacteroides fragilis are widespread in Soma. They can live peacefully along the aqueduct, where they feed on the nutrients and other resources that flow down from Buccal Bay, and are among the most common residents below the Southern Dam and near Fecal Outlet. They can even be beneficial to Soma’s health, [...]

Description (Healing Blade Lore) Mycoplasma pneumoniae are Soma’s silent hunters. They lurk undetected in the world’s forests, phantoms ever haunting Soma’s peaceful communities. Their elusory presence even once led the Apothecaries’ strategists to mistake them for another class of foes that haunt the land—the dreaded viruses—a suspicion supported by the irreparable damage they can cause [...]
