Could Ardyn be cured of the Starscourge?

Hello everyone!

I was thinking about something for a fanfic idea, and I'm curious what you all think—

Poll style if you prefer it.

If Ardyn were not on Eos, would he still carry the Starscourge? Would subsequent uses of it drain its power from him, or would it weaken over time being away from Eos? Or would it be unaffected?

Or, since he's not on the planet it's from, would he be able to be cured of it with enough healers working in conjunction with Luna?

The stories behind Ardyn and the Starscourge are varied in rather important ways, and I wouldn't look them up unless you've played the whole game (plus episode Ardyn) if you're trying to stay spoiler-free.

But I understand this means answers may vary as well, I'm just trying to get some ideas as to how one would cure Ardyn of the Starscourge without killing him because I'm trash for the murder hobo like that.

I've commented with sample answers to make it easier, but feel free to comment with details or offer your own. :blue_heart:

And I'm still working on that analysis, I promise

Thank you!
