Hahah! When I posted that I was wondering if I should edit it to explicitly state they were set to heal, but I didn't because I was lazy.
Yes, my queens were set to heal. Also, dominion is growth 1 and luck 3, so if death and misfortune are to blame, it's not in this case.
I think the culprit is old age. Ermor aged Illearth something terrbile, and that may be the true reason for the afflictions (though they all happened at once and I could have swore it was during a battle). That's lame you can't heal old age afflictions. Old age is a pain in the neck enough with the stat penalties, there should at least be some way you can lessen the suck. Or how about at least if you cure old age (thruough nature empowerment or rejuvenate, then once you do that you can heal old age afflictions (since you're not old, they are now just regular afflictions). That would be nice
