Periapt of foul rotting

A periapt of foul rotting was a deadly cursed item.

Description
A periapt of foul rotting resembled a small gem of little value.

Powers
Anyone claiming a periapt of foul rotting as their own would contract a terrible form of leprosy, which would slowly degrade their dexterity, constitution and charisma; most people died within a couple of months, determined by which attribute was weakest.

There were few ways of countering it: by using both remove curse and cure disease in quick succession followed by a limited wish or wish, or by crushing a periapt of health and sprinkling it over the affected party. Even those who managed to revert the effect would find themselves permanently crippled and disfigured by it.

History
A number of periapts of foul rotting were recovered from the Imaskari city of Solon, one of which was sent to Princess Bhrokiti of Saikhoi as one of her bridal gifts in. There were cups in the Solonese level of the excavations underneath Solon, which had the same effect if someone were to drink from them; they were available until as well.

One was still hidden within the Temple of Set within the Oasis of the White Palm as of.
