The Blood Curse
The blood curse was a plague that swept through the streets of Velen in early Nightal in 1491 DR. It ended in Hammer of 1492 DR after the curse was lifted by Sybil Mournstrider.
Sybil's notes on the blood curse
I am writing this after a very busy day at the temple. It seems that along with this “death curse”, we also have to deal with something mayhap even worse. The clergy at the Temple of Tyr have taken to calling it the blood curse.
Symptoms:
Fatigue, weakness, delirium.
Quickly evolves into the sweating of blood, inability to move, high fever, and, within the week, certain death. If not buried properly, the body will rise as a zombie.
Transmission:
Can be transferred by fluid contact or most commonly rat bites.
Cures:
The Doctors’ Guild had one experimental cure that I didn’t have an opportunity to study because we had to immediately administer it to Keen. It works, thankfully. Still unknown if he is now immune or if he is still able to become infected again. I plan on studying his antibodies soon.
