Evil Curse of Doom

The "Evil Curse of Doom", something similar to the Black Spot has recently been discovered. The player may possibly acquire it when they use a Cursed Blade. After defeating El Patron as part of the Raven's Cove Story Quest, the pirate can find cursed swords, but using them apparently exposes them to the curse. By entering the emote /hand, the pirate will find out if the curse has taken hold of them.

NOTHING is known for sure beyond this point, except that it bears similarity with the Black Spot. No one is even sure WHAT the curse does to those infected.
