Cadeus

Cadeus is a healer based on Bilefen.

Biography
In 1270, Cadeus was approached by a hero/group of heroes, sent to find him by Talva Silvertongue. They spoke of a nearby village, and that Talva believed it to be cursed. Cadeus scoffed at such a suggestion, instead stating that a creature was behind the village's suffering. If they killed the creature, the suffering would end.

The group came to a river where they found a corpse floating in it, having come downriver. Cadeus pointed out that it wasn't magic that was behind this, but rather, that the body had been injected with a toxin. He advised the hero(es) to head upriver and follow the bodies. By doing so, they could discover what was behind this.

Cadeus later found the hero(es) in the village by the remains of Elder Owen. As it had turned out, a Maggot Brood had poisoned the village, killing all its inhabitants bar Owen. While Corpse Worms had writhed inside him, a beacon taken from the Temple of Namari had kept him alive, even as the worms consumed him from the inside. Cadeus lamented Owen's fate, but the hero(es) pointed out that there was another beacon on the island, and it could be causing even more damage. Cadeus directed them to Rikari Village, believing that it was in the hands of the Fetishes.

In-game
