Scoiris

The Scoiris is a fungus, originating from Neihrenspried. The neihrenspried fungus evolved, most likely in labolatory conditions, however its origins are not confirmed. It occurs in Eldham, more specificaly in Anglunias citys: Myrtle, Isaz and Saints port, as well as wilderness around those cities. Currently scoiris is being contained as probes and sealed containers in temporary resistance base, awaiting further reaserch.

Spreading
The Scoiris spreads through spores covering ground and other surfaces, or through roots expanding under ground. It spread in a form of long blue/cyan vines, blue tall grass which blooms and releases spores and long thin vines growing up. In the further stages of environment infection, blue tree-like plants grow from the vines. These trees also spread spores and develop vein-like roots. Eventualy highly infected water will be discharged through those veins.

Infection stages
The infection can occur in a few ways. Mostly from inhalation of spores, but also drinking infected water or digestion. Less commonly it comes from toutching vines or infected person.

Stage 1: The first stage starts 1 day after initial contact with infection. Nausea, fever and muscle aches. Eye color turns bluish and often infected person starts to stutter and have little nervous tics.

Stage 2: Second stage starts with aggressive uncontrolled movements. Eventually complete muscle failure. In around 2 days scince infection the infected complitely loses control over the body. In rare cases the parasite might influence the way of thinking of the infected person.

Stage 3: Third stage starts after a week, it is when the body of an infected starts to dissolve and blue vines start to grow around the body of an infected. From now the infected can spread the infection as the vines on a body can release spores. Healing the infected during this stage would require complex surgeries.

Behaviour
The Scoiris is less sentient than Neihrenspried, but it still can persue a host into thinking that the host is not infected and that the infected does not need medical assistance or isolation. It controls the body but doesn't obtain psychical capabilities of its host. The Scoiris feeds on hosts bodily fluids to survive, once all nutrients are gone the host dies however the parasite keeps control of the body untill it dies, however the death of a host is unlikely as Scoiris doesn't need lots of humidity to feed on. The process might take months or even years,

The Cure
A cure for scoiris is currently available for everyone. Its a modified cure for Neihrenspreid. Taking the cure may result in sideeffects caused by the infections will to survive. The sideeffects might be different from person to person but most common are vommiting, dizzyness, occasional seizures and strongly bloodshot eyes. The vines that formed inside infected persons body might react aggressively, for example start to rappidly expand. After sometime the vines will seem to dry up and shorten, resulting in death of infection. On rare occasions the infection will try to escape the body in order to avoid death, this will happen most likely in form of a detatched separate small thin piece of vine to crawl out of the body and attempt to escape or infect other person.
