The first observed stage of mutation is what has been known for some time as “Lost Sailors.” This stage begins immediately after the victim is wounded by an Atlantean past stage 2, known as “Lesser Mutated.” Lost Sailors themselves are not contagious. Otherwise, if infected under the exposure of the Dark Sea’s magic poisoning, the change from healthy to infected is less drastic.
*Their transformation may vary depending on what they mutate into. Lost Sailors are named accordingly due to the hollowness of their appearance. This is the beginning of their loss of self. *
Despite your safety from them, take care not to approach, for they are extremely volatile and fragile in this state. There is no aggression behind their actions, only confusion and frustration, as well as immense pain due to their limbs beginning to contort.
Rumors that the infected could still be saved in this state have been arising. Though I cannot confirm nor deny this theory, it is best to play it safe. For all you know, much more dangerous Atlanteans could be lurking nearby.
