SUBJECT: Test Cleansing Ruins on the Blight PARTICIPANTS: Kain, Inessa, and Bethany DATE FILED: Cloudreach 25 STATUS: Ongoing SUMMARY: Description of the assignment: "With new developments happening concerning red lyrium infected darkspawn, Knight-Enchanter Delacroix would like several Wardens to take weapons with cleansing runes and see how the Blight reacts to it."
REPORT:
Knight-Enchanter Delacroix,
Our investigation into the effects of cleansing runes on Blighted rocks has proven successful. We applied the runes to several blighted areas within the Western Approach. In these tests, we saw the taint either minimize noticeably, or... simply move away from the area where the rune was applied, only to concentrate and blacken another area further away. Attached, you'll find our notes with measurements and other observations on the specific ways in which the runes affected the taint's presence.
Although it doesn't appear to be a means to fully destroy the Blight, these findings are undoubtedly still very promising. Might it be a step toward finding a true cure? It's hard to say at this point, but the reaction we saw cannot be dismissed. I'll also note for the record that we had some darkspawn interrupt us, but we didn't notice anything unusual from that particular battle. I still cannot help but think that more might be uncovered, given the right experimental conditions. Perhaps all of this is for our researchers to consider further.
