Uutiġniķ

Also known as the melting sickness.

A malady that affected many survivors of the Auksalaķ. Many Snow Elves are newly infected each year but the cause is unknown.

"Survivors would come to us shaking with fever, too hot to touch. They spoke of flames and steam. Of their warriors falling, literally melting away as they tried to flee. Those struck became known as The Uutiġniķ (those scarred from burns). This was later known as the Melting Sickness." -Hiko
