Luckily, there's a cure for Meridian Rot. The cure removes the infection completely. The body is no longer producing reactive venom, and the disease no longer progresses. However, you have lived with the infection for a long time. Once it is removed, the body stabilizes and recovers. Muscles, lungs, and nervous system function more efficiently.
Upon curing the disease:
Removed
- Venom Coating (spit-based system)
- Infection Stage progression
Replaced With "Refined Toxin System"
The Skaven can no longer generate poison biologically, but instead uses crafted toxin vials.
