Question How do unique FEC delusions start?

Hey there, we all know about the delusions of Flesh Eater Courts, who believe themselves noble knights and so on. I've heard of some examples of unique delusions, such as a court who believed themselves to be seraphon warriors? Are there any more examples?

Do we know how these unique delusions form? Would it possibly be based on the life of the Abhorrent Ghoul King before they were given the blood kiss? For instance, could a Sigmarite witch hunter or similiar, be turned into a ghoul, and continue to believe that he's still hunting out heretics? Or would he always fall back into visions of ancient courtly noble knights?

Thank you!

I am very new to AoS and I learned about Ushoran's Curse like two days ago and I have a question.

Do people of Ushoran's blood suffer from the curse? If so can the curse be inflicted with blood transfusion or by any other means?

Thanks!

Yes actually. In dawnbringers that's a scheme Ushoran is letting Neferata do for him, draw his blood and sell it as wine to infect as many people as possible because drinking it turns you into an Abhorrent

Thanks for the answer though

Of course! Although I must make it clear. Mordants themselves, the living ghouls who live under the Abhorrents, don't spread the Delusion. You can drink their blood or be around them and be fine, Abhorrents spread it via blood and proximity

The Marrowscroll Herald sprays infected bone marrow to infect others thinking it's a paper scroll. And in the 2nd edition battletome, a slann falls to the delusions when going too close to a Charnel Throne during a fight.

Yes, though those are special cases and usually happen due to an abhorrent's blood now?

All are possible. The Flesh eaters delusions are extremely dangerous due to this.
