Can commanders just disappear?

[sector24]

Between turns one of my commanders just blinked out of existence. One turn she was forging an item for me, and next turn the item she was forging was in my laboratory but she was gone.

I figure that's not a lot of info to go on, so I'll attach the before and after for someone to peruse. Here's the pertinent info:

Province: Garillion (70)
Commander: Klytaimnestra (Naiad)
Action: Forge Boots of the Messenger

Next turn she's gone along with her hammer, but the Boots of the Messenger are in my treasury. I generated the turn 3 times to make sure it happens more than once, so hopefully it will be reproducible for others. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

She's a Naiad, and they die outside their home province. Check her HP, she has just 1. Next turn she will have zero, and be dead.

I can't figure out how to get the "home garrison" info to display outside of battle mode, so it's hard to tell where she's originally from.

vfb, do you know if regeneration (in battle) or gift of health could help to keep her alive?

Regeneration and the spell Heal would work. I don't know about Gift of Health.

Sorry, I don't know for sure, but I think Endoperez is right.

vfb, you are the knower of things. I do have Gift of Health up in the game, which probably helped her survive so long. But it doesn't heal her because the HP loss is not affliction based.

Would be nice if there was an icon on the unit or a message as to why they died, but not a high priority considering it only affects a small number of units in the overall game. Thanks for the help!

Also, because damage due to disease occurs in the very end of the turn (the same time units usually heal, after all battles etc), you could cast something like Send Lesser Horror to cause a battle in the province she's in, and have her cast Heal and/or personal regeneration. She might be wise enough to target herself with the heal, and the regen should at least keep her alive for a few more turns.
