Exclusion Sickness

Exclusion Sickness is the umbrella term for the sicknesses which swept across humanity following the Advent war, when a nasty cocktail of Jhoutaioan diseases and Pall Marches gave Earth a trial-by-fire introduction to Curses. They came in many forms, but primarily were the fallout of unchecked Sathiidism spreading amongst wastelanders.

These sicknesses were often the Naissance of Humans of the Era, who were the first humans to have access to the Meta while Aempis otherwise carefull imposed its no-soul edict for Humanity. This gave many Bleakheart a reputation as shamans or witches, depending on how useful they were or how the local culture was biased against them.

Those with Exclusion Sickness and their descendants are today known as the BleakHeart

Exclusion Sickness comes with mutations that reflect the mental state and fixations of the infected. Many of these mutations are also an adaptation to the environment in which the Bleakheart lives, though it may also be a maladaption.
