 '''Malas''' ([[Youzi]]: Dovra, [[Bukk]]: Gōynoh) is a tropical illness, observed in central-northern areas of the [[Continent]] and endemic in an area between Tother and Romber rivers. It affects humans and other animals.
-Believed by modern researchers to be caused by an insect, a fly or a a mosquito, malas causes symptoms of fever, tiredness and profuse sweating, that can cause fatal levels of dehydration. Acute phase of the illness typically lasts a week. Main harm, however, is caused by complications of the disease, that can cause secondary malas, which is usually more severe, blindness, paralysis of the limbs and death. Complications usually resurface 2-6 weeks after the acute phase and tend to occur suddenly. It is generally thought that if no symptoms recur 2 months after the initial infection, the person is safe. The fatality of the illness is estimated at 10-20%, but could be as high as 40% in cases when proper care is not administered.

 In most cases people that have survived malas develop immunity, although immunity is thought to not be life-long and reinfections have been documented. Immunity is stronger if a person gets and survives secondary malas.
 The illness has greatly influenced the religious beliefs of peoples in the north. [[The Great Turtle]] believed in Dovra-lum, a god sent to punish human misdeeds. A malas survivor was considered to be cleansed. Only survivors of the disease could become priests.
