Herders became ill and watched their herds die. Animals who got the red taint went berserk: they bit, they fought, and tried to kill everything they saw. All animals could be affected-herd animals, game animals, none were immune. Blight storms killed crops as well as natural flora, and had the potential to make creatures stronger and more dangerous to unwary travelers. It affected the profits drawn from the land by leading to the closure of mines in Blight-prone locations. It wiped out cliff striders, nix-oxen, and vvardvarks by the late Third Era. The Blight had an adverse effect on the Vvardenfell's fauna. Effects of the Blight on the Ecosystem and the Economy
THE BLIGHT FREE
As such, some scholars theorized that it may be many years before Morrowind was truly free of the Blight. Furthermore, some speculated that it was possible for creatures to contract Blight diseases from contact with the tainted ash that had accumulated for centuries in the wastelands. Many Blighted creatures survived, and their diseases with them. However, the threat posed by the Blight wasn't over, despite the fact that opportunities for tainted ash storms to infect new hosts on a broad scale had been stifled. The Blight disappeared after Dagoth Ur's defeat at the Nerevarine's hands. ĭagoth Ur intended to "broadcast divine power over the blight winds", hoping to touch every soul in Vvardenfell, eventually extending overseas to mainland Morrowind and infecting the rest of Tamriel. Those who moved from Blighted areas to places the Blight storms' reach hadn't quite extended noticed the symptoms of soul sickness were relieved the terrible dreams they experienced in Blight-prone zones ceased after they relocated. People who lived in areas that were exposed to Blight storms (namely as the Ashlands) experienced nightmares, and had difficulty sleeping as a result. One Ashlander described the phenomenon as the Sharmat Dagoth Ur "sending bad dreams" in the dust. Soul sickness and Blight diseases go hand-in-hand the Blight storms were the cause of rampant soul sickness in 3E 427. The foul effects in Blight storms are derived from the foul magic in the dust.
Those infected can be cured with the help of potions and spells specially tailored to treat the Blight. Natives try and avoid exposure to the Blight, and wear special protective garments when traveling in regions prone to the Blight. Blight diseases are transmitted through blight storms and by touching Blighted creatures. The latter causes the infected to become physically twisted and angry monsters, unafraid of attacking their fellow citizens. Blight Diseases īlight diseases resist common herbal and magical treatments, and appear in two forms: wasting diseases which attack one or more of an organism's systems, and abnormal growth diseases, which distort the organism's functions and structures. Mortals and animals that were twisted and driven mad by the Blight wandered the Ashlands, making travel dangerous. Deformed "corprus men" started appearing from the slopes of Red Mountain, following the Blight storms and bringing death and disease with them. As the infections rose, the Empire laid down an embargo on wares from Vvardenfell, leading to some starvation and further isolation of the Dunmer on the island. The blight storms were at their worst in 3E 427. House Redoran was particularly strained in its territories, and maintained great volunteer forces in Maar Gan and Molag Mar. By 3E 400, Blight storms were frequent and more widespread, and soul sickness had spread in regions close to Red Mountain. These weather events were referred to as "blight storms". These ash storms carried red dust, giving the roiling, dusty storms a crimson tint. Described as a health-threatening, ash-heavy volcanic cloud, exposure to the Blight mostly occurred through tainted ash storms. The Blight is a weather phenomenon that originates from within Red Mountain, beyond the protection of the Ghostfence. In 2E 882, Dagoth Ur awoke from his slumber and unleashed the Blight (also known as the Ash Blight) upon Morrowind.
