In the story, Ashynites do not have [[fabrial]]s, but appear to have discovered gunpowder, as some are mentioned carrying flintlock pistols. Abilities granted by diseases include prophecy and changing the color of objects, and are accompanied by sometimes-dangerous side effects, such as physical weakness, hallucinations and deadly fevers. Occasionally, there are some symptoms left behind after the disease is over, called Echoes, which take some time to fade, or don't disappear at all. People who carry the diseases are called '''Incubators'''.{{wob ref|12303}}
