Thysian Book of Remedies (artifact)

This book is a listing of medicines and remedies for various diseases and ailments both common and obscure, with treatment using both the best ingredients available and local ingredients in order to ensure even the peasantry would benefit from its knowledge. While generally respected and still widely circulated by healers, the book spends a controversial amount of time demanding the reader 'washeth the hands which heal in the purest of waters and alcohol', a step to most treatments most contemporary readers see as little more than time wasting ceremony. Another chapter often removed for not being worth the cost of printing speaks of diseases actually being spread by small evil beings unseen by human eyes, which is regularly regarded as a fit of fantasy when compared to the scientifically proven existence of humours.
