Nurgle

Back to Warriors of Chaos

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.
