Corprus Corprus is a disease featured in , one which forms part of the antagonism that plagues the province of Morrowind ; the Nerevarine is even infected with the disease during the storyline . Symptoms . After infection , the disease follows one of two paths . Symptoms generally include a number of cancerous growths and , in the diseases ' later stages , violent insanity ; those in the late stages of the disease become stronger and are referred to as Corprus Stalker s . Some , whose growths are more debilitating , are called Lame Corprus Beasts . Corprus is considered incurable by the inhabitants of Morrowind . Backstory . Corprus is spread by the Ashstorms and can be considered a deadlier version of ( if not a relative to ) the Blight , as both were created by Dagoth Ur and are spread in the same fashion , via the Ashstorms , and can also be contracted from Corprus - afflicted individuals . It also allows the sufferer to become susceptible to Dagoth Ur ' s dream messages ( referred to by Morrowind denizens as " Soul Sickness " ) , which could possibly lead the victim to joining the Sixth House Cult . Corprus is called " the Divine Disease " by members of House Dagoth , as they believe it to be the evolution of the Dunmer race , bringing them unity and immortality , and protecting them from all outside influences , mainly the Empire . In the Seven Trials of the Nerevarine , it is also referred to as the " Curse - of - Flesh . " A magical barrier , the Ghostfence , was created by Vivec , Almalexia and Sotha Sil , for the purpose of containing the Blight and Corprus disease within the Red Mountain region . However , as the barrier slowly began to weaken , the Blight epidemic spread outside the Ghostfence , and both it and Corprus spread throughout many places in Morrowind . Tel Fyr also houses a Corprusarium , where the victims of Corprus can find refuge and live out the remainder of their lives in relative peace . It is possible that they seem to keep at least some sort of awareness of themselves . Effects on player . During the course of the game , the main character performs a quest in which they are infected with corprus . Infection is unavoidable — if they are not infected in the natural course of the quest , they are automatically infected upon its completion . They seek a potion from Divayth Fyr at Tel Fyr on the east coast of Vvardenfell . The potion removes the negative symptoms of the disease while retaining its two positive symptoms , immunity to age and all other diseases ( Blight and common diseases ) . The Nerevarine is certainly cured due to the prophecy as Divath Fyr mentions after the quest that it killed the other subjects . One of the trials for becoming accepted as the Nerevarine is proving the Nerevarine ' s ability to resist the Corprus disease . Spells . The following spells consist of a Corprus effect . They may include additional effects . See articles for details . Interactions . Disease Carrier - as a member of the Tribunal Temple the Nerevarine must convince Tanusea Veloth to go to the Corprusarium to avoid infecting other people . Corprusarium . The Corprusarium is an asylum for victims of Corprus . Due to the extremely contagious and untreatable nature of the disease , along with the fact that the infected develop aggressive behavior , the most effective non - lethal method of prevention of the disease is the incarceration of all victims of the disease away from society . Purpose . The House Telvanni wizard Divayth Fyr , seeing the need for some measure of comfort to these unfortunate victims ( and seeing the disease as a fascinating and potentially useful phenomenon ) , constructed the Corprusarium beneath his tower of Tel Fyr . Located on one of the many small islands near Sadrith Mora , it is the only establishment aside from House Dagoth where Corprus sufferers are not persecuted . Description . The Corprusarium itself is actually a rather unpleasant dungeon , but the inmates , having long since gone completely mad , do not require many creature comforts . The only luxury they seem to appreciate is the occasional drum playing done by their caretaker , Uupse Fyr ( one of Divayth Fyr ' s clones ) , something that significantly reduces their violent outbursts . Visitation is allowed but not recommended , obviously because you may contract Corprus . Any violence toward any inmate is strictly prohibited . The Corprusarium plays a vital role in the main storyline of the game , as well . Also , there are many powerful and valuable artifacts found there for any thief willing to try their luck against the dungeon ; you may also meet " the last living Dwarf , " who has seemingly overcome the disease ' s psychotic nature and has taken up residence in the Corprusarium ' s deepest chambers .
