Gold Hyperplasia

The Aurei face a grave affliction known as Gold hyperplasia. This harrowing condition manifests as an alarming and uncontrollable overgrowth of their golden coating, which begins to encroach upon their skin. As the gold layers swell, they pierce the surface, causing excruciating pain that radiates throughout the body. 

In the early stages, the Aurei may attempt to manage the discomfort, but as the hyperplasia progresses, it leads to severe mobility complications. With joints becoming stiff and movement increasingly difficult, their once graceful forms are rendered burdensome and impaired. Tragically, Gold hyperplasia culminates in a slow decline, leading to the inevitable demise of the Aurei within a span of six months to a year, robbing them of the lives they once led.

Treatment:

Regrettably, there is currently no known cure for this affliction, which casts a shadow of hopelessness over those who suffer from it. In search of relief, many members of the Aurei community turn to Aismequin Lotus, by extracting the oil from the exotic lotus plant. This oil possesses potent analgesic properties, allowing individuals to alleviate their pain and regain a degree of mobility that the condition had previously stripped away. 

However, the allure of Aismeguin lotus oil comes at a significant cost. While it provides temporary respite from pain, its side effects can be severe and disorienting. Users often experience intense psychotic episodes, marked by hallucinations and a disconnection from reality. This unsettling experience is further exacerbated by waves of paranoia, leaving individuals feeling trapped within their own minds. Thus, for many dealing with the relentless grip of gold hyperplasia, Aismeguin lotus oil represents a double-edged sword, offering fleeting relief while simultaneously at the risk of plunging them into psychological turmoil.
