Yes, but we now have most unmarried Heortling women with some healing ability. Even with more deadly diseases, I think the avergae death rate will be lower among the Heortlings than in a similar RW society. Besides, I don't think people are going to want to imagine their Heortlings and dirty, lice-ridden, stinking, scabby, diseased creatures (even if it's true, despite the best attemps of hard-working Seven Mothers missionaries "Artemex, the only thing they use their streams for is mills; they say washing upsets the river daimons. Honestly, Artemex, what's a missionary to do...").
