Curses

When magic was being created, Dravago’s presence unwillingly corrupted the flow of magic. These tainted flows of magic can solely create horrible magical diseases known as “curses”. These curses can come to people through the flows of magic, or can be inflicted on them by others. When dark magic came into the world these curses became only worse and gave necromancers the ability to use dark arts to horribly curse others. Many of these curses last for a lifetime and do horrible things to their subjects. Let’s go over some known curses of Tillindor.

 Deadwalk

"Arach norum" or "the deadwalk" in the common tongue, is an age old curse which kills you, just so you can stand up again completely conscious, but without any control over your body. then you simply walk, you walk for eternity while you body slowly decays. you don't interact with anyone or talk. you just walk.

Arachnomia

Arachnomia is a curse that can only be given to you by someone else suffering from Arachnomia. It is a horrible curse which turns you into a giant spider either for eternity, or every time when Mura is full and Eos is fading.

 Vildkaarl

Mostly Norse people suffer from Vildkaarl. It is a curse that gives the user the ability to turn into a giant bear at will, or when angered. Grafschend

The curse of Grafschend changes the person into a creature known as a “ghoul”. these ghouls live amongst society in secret but need human flesh to stay alive. During daytime they often live normal lives. But when night falls they start hunting so they may survive another day. Some of these ghouls form groups or cults and help each other hunt and survive.

Kodoku

Kodoku is an Arcanian curse used as a death sentence. To create kodoku, sorcerers would mix several insects in a jar, and let them kill one another until only one survived. The fluids of the insect that survived would be used to poison an individual with a curse that would control them, cause them misfortune, or kill them. The remaining insect could also be used as a sort of "luck charm" granting the one who performed the ritual great wealth. In return the owner is supposed to feed the bug. Neglecting to do so would enrage the insect, if the owner does not equivalently repay the insect by placing all his or her riches beside a road, plus interest in gold and silver, the insect would devour the home owner.

 Lubber

Lubber is an age old curse. Lubber is when a women has a miscarriage and the dead fetus has not been buried with a special ritual. It will then rise again from the dead as a ”Lurdane” which will haunt homes, mostly wine cellars and attics.
