According to the description provided by the farmer's wife, what the young boy suffered from was less a sickness and more a curse.
He appeared healthy most of the time and seemed no different from other children his age.
But once the curse took hold, he would become extremely uncomfortable, coughing, with a tight chest, difficulty breathing, gasping for air, sometimes even experiencing headaches and stomach aches.
The farmer's wife had sought help from the Lord, but the herbalist in the lordship could not diagnose the boy's condition. Instead, an old woman from the village who had once swept floors in the Temple claimed that the child might have been entangled by some impurity.
The more the farmer's wife thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense, but appealing to the Silver Moon Church to expel the impurity would require a large sum of money, which she could not afford.
