#dreamscourge

obsidian shared a pic of some poor soul suffering from the dreamscourge earlier today. spoilers below.

"You must be our Imperial Envoy. Better late than never, I say" - this jobber

my guess is wish dot com hugh grant here is the aedyran ambassador and that he has contracted the dreamscourge.

in this screenshot, he looks to be in an area that appears to be infected with fungal dreamscourge spores and mycelia. that, plus his little quote about the envoy being late, makes me think he had a little hallucinatory episode with the soul plague and wandered astray. then our envoy is sent to rescue him shortly after arriving.

carrie patel describes the progression of the dreamscourge as follows:

"No one knows how it spreads, but many have come to recognize and dread the symptoms: first, victims experience confusion, disorientation, and hallucinations. As it worsens, they become unpredictable and erratic in their behavior, as if trapped in a waking nightmare. In the final stage, they turn into violent “Dreamthralls,” their bodies twisted with fungal growths and their minds and souls overtaken by the plague."
