Curse

I've always question the page's referral of the curses. I always thought that Mari is the one who will have to give up everything because she had to give up her previous loli life and turn into Nao and become the Soul Stream's errand girl and an MMORPG's mascot. Ruairi should have been the one who gets what he or she wants but won't be able to handle it because he gets the Dark Knight power but he gets whacked by the Milletian and abducted by Cromm Cruaich. Tarlach is obviously in physical and mental agony because he can't survive outside while not in Bear form and needs Mana Herbs to live.

Also this is Morgant's prediction. The past of the heroes shouldn't have mattered, and I think Ruairi didn't care about not having become a Paladin. Besides, that wasn't "everything" for him anyway.
