Arescet Disease 

Transmission Vectors: For anyone that is not a Landsman this disease is hyper contractible. This means that if an infected player touches another player they contract this disease. This disease is also transmittable via bodily fluids, and bites or wounds.

Landsmen are naturally resistant towards this disease and can only get it via bodily fluids.
Natural Ones are Immune to this disease.

Description: Arescet is a disease that attacks a Strain’s infection itself, slowly weakening the body, manipulating its infection, and warping the connection between the infected and the Mortis Amaranthine. This causes more intense Mortis Amaranthine experiences.

  • Stage 4 - Declining Stage: All above symptoms/effects. Black veins start reaching arms, legs and neck. If you get within 10ft of another player they get infected with Stage 1 Arescet Disease.
