Overview
Morality, Slavery, and Corruption
- Slavery: Rare; Nurgle’s followers are communal, spreading disease and pestilence rather than structured enslavement.
- Non-consent sexual relationships: Morality is warped; acts are often grotesque or tied to corruption and disease rather than desire.
- Vulnerability to Chaos corruption: Very high. Nurgle’s influence is pervasive; exposure leads to physical and mental degeneration, though followers often embrace it willingly.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Strengths: Immensely resilient, hard to kill, patient, and persistent; thrives in attrition and spreading corruption.
- Weaknesses: Slow, unrefined, and unambitious outside of decay; can become grotesquely dependent on Nurgle’s influence.
Gender Roles & Sexuality
Gender Roles
- Nurgle’s followers, including Plaguebearers and mortals, are largely indifferent to gender; corruption and disease affect all equally.
- Hierarchies exist based on resilience, devotion, and pestilential influence rather than sex.
Sexuality
- Sexuality is downplayed or grotesquely intertwined with decay and disease. Pleasure is secondary; filth, rot, and survival dominate.
- Erotic acts may exist but are generally symbolic, perverse, or tied to pestilence and corruption rather than attraction.
Attitudes toward Other Races (Sexualized)
- Sexualization is minimal and often horrifying: other races are objects for disease, corruption, or grotesque parody rather than desire.
- Humans may be twisted into disgusting sexualized forms in ritual or corruption.
- Elves, dwarfs, and greenskins are primarily sources of disease or ritual experimentation.
