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.
