“They may take our land, but they shall pay dearly for it. Let the rivers run red, and the air become heavy with the stench of their rotting corpses.”
This is an ancient ritual, crafted in the early days of the Druathan faith when the Saint of Death was much hungrier than the current one. It spreads a corrupted vitality across the land, thinning the blood and making any wound, no matter how slight, fester and turn septic if left untreated. Though it is most effective at killing armies, it has slain many innocents over the ages.
You target one Region with this ritual. You must deliver the Curse Card for this ritual to an Envoy of the Nation containing that Region or to a Veilwalker whose Enterprise is located within the Province that contains the targeted Region for it to have an effect.
All forces in the Region take +100% damage from all sources.
People and animals within the Province suffer from wounds becoming badly infected. Even a small scratch can easily turn into a fatal infection if not swiftly treated by a Physick.
The effects of this ritual last until the end of the next Round of Downtime, until you remove the Curse, or until the Curse is broken, whichever comes first.
You can overcharge this ritual; by increasing the Ritual Power to 50, you can apply the curse to an entire Province.
If this ritual is performed outside of Veilguard, its required Ritual Power is quadrupled.
