The Tainting

-The Everworld won't survive this...

Written by SuperSolomob422

This sickness is the cause for the corruptors and the diminishing population of the Everworld.

Transmission & Vectors

The corruption's corruptive energy attacking the human body to get a part corruption, from there it spreads with no visual changes to the body.

Causes

Staying in the corruption too long without a potion or spell to protect you will result in the beggining of this affliction.

Symptoms

Small things at first, eyes trailing off, twitches, seemingly sleeping while sitting or standing with their eyes open, and eratic behaviour. But then, they will complain, even scream or faint because of what they call "Loud Whispers". They become murderous and insane. But on the seventh night there is a change, they walking away while sleeping with their eyes open, and viciously tackles and bites anyone who touches them. They arrive to the nearest Podium of the Corrupt. Where antotimu will burn them with corruption, and their skin will burn off and they will become corruptors.

Treatment

There is no cure, for families it's often a day to greive when it's discovered some one has it. As most people that are affected are exiled from all cities, towns and villages; even hamlets, small groups of households.

Affected Groups

All humans, beings such as Solomob Sylvan and Lyceilya aren't affected as Lyceilya has purposefully implemented restrictions.

Hosts & Carriers

Any people who venture into the corruption without caution or rational second thought.

Prevention

There are many Mixer's potions designed to prevent it, spells as well, but you'd have to pay money to bring a spellcaster with you.

Cultural Reception

People who carry this easily get angered, causing people to be afraid and start avoiding the person. This function is so that no one remembers them once they're gone.
