Curse of Leximir

"I swear by me nan... one guy had a crab's claw for a hand. The other had the tail of a lobster. The third carpace growing out of his face! I must be on something, or at least I pray my drink was spiked that night. I rather have been hallucinating all of that up!"
- A drunken dock worker being interrogated by the Red Clergy

Manifestation

The manifestation of this curse spread the growth of shell, barnacles and bodyparts of crustaceans over everything it touches. Pink and red, organic and blood pumping veins can be seen stretching from aquatic creature like tumors where the corruption has taken root. This goes both for living creatures as well as inanimate objects such as the infamous The Brineclad monstrosity. Thankfully, this horrid perversion does not seem to be capable of springing root in nature itself, making it one of the less serious eldritch machinations.
The main problem of it, as these crustaceous creatures it spawns are far from hard to kill, is the effect it has on the inanimate. Turning ships and potentially even other warmachines into terrible beasts that are both aquatic and land based super-weapons could prove terrible consequences in a near future, if not stopped soon.

Localization

It should come to no surprise that this curse is found within the aquatic regions of the world. Though, not or land or even within the water, nor the seabottom either. It's solely spread among the crew of this pirate Leximir. Somehow. Thus, the sighting of the curse is rather scarce and contained within the northern, Frozen Sea. Around northern Diestria, the Dyskhari Imperium, Âzhgaard and the Scarnic Kingdoms.
