Chillfever is a malady on Scadrial that results from exposure to extreme cold. The term chillfever is used by the Southern Scadrians and primarily refers to the effects of cold on the mind, including confusion and feeling "hot" even while freezing to death.[1]
Several crewmembers of the Brunstell were afflicted by chillfever after being captured by the Set and taken into the mountains of the Seran Range. Jordis observed several people removing their clothing despite the cold, and she believed that they would soon be dead. She worried that she was experiencing a chillfever-induced vision when Allik first arrived to save the crew.[1]
