However, Corruption is not Exhaustion, as far as we know. The curse can be removed by Remove Curse or Greater Restoration. The victim cannot regain their HP or used spell slots, and gains a level of exhaustion.
I was immediately reminded of the Curse of the Rakshasa, in which victims of its claw attacks are beset by nightmares whenever they attempt a short or long rest. Plants can’t grow in the town proper, undead roam the streets, and SOMETHING is happening under the castle. It’s obvious that Whitestone is under a curse of sorts.
Percy’s class and backstory were born under Pathfinder, as were a few other mechanics, so it’s likely Pathfinder is the source of the Corruption mechanics. There are a lot of theories (a few we’ll discuss), but it’s not canon to 5e. Here’s the TL DR version: No one is really sure what “One point of corruption” means. Xarph asks: How does corruption work? Are other members of VM succeptible from proximity or spending time in Whitestone?
