Lore:Doença
Disease is widespread throughout Mundus and beyond. Tamriel has its fair share of diseases, many of them fatal. Diseases can be transmitted through contact with the afflicted or through fighting animals and undead. They can also be transmitted magically or through dart traps. Most common diseases can be cured by magic, blessings or potions. The diseases brought about by the Blight once required special spells or potions to cure, but the few that survived the defeat of Dagoth Ur can now be cured like any common disease. Diseases can be resisted as well as cured; the Argonians are famous for their natural immunity to almost all disease. Certain diseases such as Corprus and Porphyric Hemophilia cannot be resisted. Peryite is the Daedric Prince of Pestilence and therefore most diseases are under his domain.

Corprus
Corprus, also known as the Divine Disease, is the most terrible of the ailments associated with the Blight. The infection was created by Dagoth Ur and is spread by contact with a corprus beast or by specific curse. It destroys the mind of the victim and grotesquely deforms the body. Those infected are sent to Tel Fyr to live in the Corprusarium, where they are treated and studied by Divayth Fyr. The disease is completely incurable, although it grants the victim inhuman strength, immunity to all other diseases and immortality. The Nerevarine was infected with corprus, but Divayth Fyr was able to remove the negative effects while still retaining the positive. This fulfilled the Second Trial of the Incarnate. When Fyr used the cure on others with corprus, it merely killed them.
Crimson Plague
The Crimson Plague is a dangerous common disease which spreads easily and acts quickly. Symptoms include weakness and headaches. Infection can result in muteness. The disease, once widespread across Tamriel, was thought to have been stamped out during the Second Era. In 3E 427, the tomb of Gedna Relvel in the ruins of Old Mournhold was unsealed. Relvel, once a powerful sorceress condemned for studying and practicing forbidden magics, had cheated death and become a lich. She then attempted to spread the Crimson Plague throughout the city of Mournhold by infecting rats with the disease. The lich was destroyed by the Nerevarine before the disease could spread to more than a few people.

A repulsive disease associated with Namira. Victims of Leprosy slowly waste away, unless a cure is provided.
Llodos Plague
The Llodos Plague is a contagious disease that turns victims into violent husks. The time it takes to corrupt a person's ability to think depends on the strength of the sample they are exposed to. The disease spreads through physical contact with a victim, and can also become airborne, though it is only infectious over a few meters before it disperses.
There is no known cure; however, a suppressant exists for those exposed. Brewing Kyne's Heart healing herbs, sour milk tea, and dragon scale mushrooms over a quarter flame on an alchemy lab produces the required mix. Another known suppressant are the healing powers associated with the Tear of Saint Veloth, a relic kept by the monks of Muth Gnaar. The healing powers of the relic do not appear to be enough to cure the disease, merely keeping it in check. Additionally, one needs to remain in close proximity to the relic for it to work.
The disease originated in Narsis but has subsequently spread across the region of Redolent Loam to Serkamora village and Muth Gnaar monastery. It was created by the Maulborn as part of a plot to end the worship of the Tribunal.
