			'''Look Box'''
	The contents of the dusty box pulled out of the Solhaven library archives are placed here.
			Displaying signs of both water and fire damage, the box is dusty and old. Warped boards line the sides where an ink-smeared, illegible label is beginning to peel off.

			'''Look in Box'''
			Peering into a dusty box, you see scattered parchment and pages that show clear signs of either water or fire damage.

			'''<big>a scrap of ink-stained paper</big>'''<br>
			'''Poisons and Diseases of the Blood'''<br>
			''This comprehensive guide describes known causes of death or affliction due to specific poisons or diseases found in the blood of their victims. While some of these poisons or diseases can be naturally occurring, either through sepsis of the blood or damaged organs, a large portion of them are introduced by external methods.''

			'''<big>a fragmented leaflet of paper</big>'''<br>
			While the Aldoran Stonetenders have had amazing success with natural poisons and diseases, it is the supernatural ones that have happened much of their efforts to cleanse the blood of a victim. Indeed, many traditional remedies that would work for snakebites or gangrene end up not only be ineffective but seem to worsen the illness.

			'''<big>a leaflet of dyed paper</big>'''<br>
			Mayapple root, also known as ground lemon or Jontarian mandrake, usually is the cause of Sonorous Syndrome in the northern hemisphere during the very edible fruits harvest period. While small doses can aid someone in sleeping if they are fitful, the root is highly addictive. The issue comes when the root is mistaken for that of saxifrage, which can aid in skin toning and has properties known to aid in breaking up kidney stones.

			'''<big>a torn waterstained page</big>'''<br>
			Water seems to be key in dealing with these types of supernatural infections. Indeed, the closer to the initial infection point one can get the better. Unfortunately, the constitution of some individuals is not strong enough, due to the infection, to withstand the physical stress of having their flesh parted to the bone. Many do not make it through initial treatment.

			'''<big>a fragmented ink-stained page</big>'''<br>
			Despite the initial scouring of the wound or infection sight, the disease or poison can linger, which is why the Aldoran Stonetenders have found that use of their crystals is needed to keep it at bay long enough for the body to allow the body to produce infection-fighting humors.

			'''<big>a raw-edged stained page</big>'''<br>
			Several supernatural diseases and poisons require their one brand of magical or faith-based treatments beyond those of medicinal or alchemical sources. The typical solution is that opposites repel, meaning that the primary source must be known. For example, to soothe fire, you need water. To release the Bite of Arachne, you need the blessing of the Huntress. These are only basic examples, but the intent is clear.

			'''<big>a waterlogged dark page</big>'''<br>
			When the potency of a healing stone needs to be increased for multiple uses or for persistent disease or poisons, then an alchemical bath of crushed corresponding crystals can add the Stonetender. This is true for any of the healing arts within their domain but is especially important for supernatural maladies.

			'''<big>an illegible wrinkled paper</big>'''<br>
			Soot and ash cling to the paper, while exposure to water has destroyed all evidence of writing across its wrinkled surface.
