Curses & Afflictions

Though there are many different conditions, noted here are some of the more dangerous and notable ones.

Sylvan Rot -

It is a disease that causes flesh to become wood; its origins and how one contracts it are unknown, but most records show that those afflicted obtained it somehow within ancient elven ruins. With only the Keepers of the Dalish clans claiming to know how to cure the Rot. Though, commonly, the only "cure" is the removal of the affected area. Perhaps the Keepers speak the truth, but only they know. Sylvan Rot spreads throughout the body if left, slowly killing its host. Those that perish with the Rot will have their burial grounds overgrown with a giant flora and other flora not native to that area.

Lycanthropy -

Blighted -

A Condition that few have heard of and even less have seen. When an individual dies, there seems to be a chance that black dust/smoke pours from their mouths, nose, ears and eyes that cover their body. Their wounds were heard; they woke shortly after. Aware that they passed away but have returned somehow, those who see them rise again often reject them, for what natural thing can return from death in such a manner? These individuals rarely stay where they once did, as those they lived around tend to react poorly. Various factions often take away those who do stay out of fear or even intrigue. Even the ones that manage to evade capture attempt to remain out of the public eye and keep to themselves out of fear of what will happen if their unusual secret gets out.
