Maggotkin of Nurgle – Rotbringer Sorcerer

Many are the mages and shamans who have embraced Grandfather Nurgle over the centuries. Some did so willingly, seeking to transform the inevitable onset of entropy into a weapon. Others took their first step unknowingly, having plumbed the wrong mouldering tome for lore or let their fear of bodily decay lead them into dark research. Whatever the case, a Rotbringer Sorcerer is a living vessel of corruption. Their souls are withered things, polluted by Nurgle’s rancid attention. Far from being weakened, a Sorcerer turns this corruption into an arcane weapon. Muttered incantations leave them before their jaws distend wide, spraying a noxious stream of bile and daemonic effluvia. Those who survive this barrage are sapped and weakened, with even magical defences fraying. Sorcerers often serve as advisors to more militant champions of Nurgle, assisting in the summoning of daemons and withering magical wards to nothing. It is not unheard of for a gifted Sorcerer to command an entire host, however. As well as spreading sickness and despair with gusto, these forces delight in serving Nurgle through more esoteric means; they hunt down relics to corrupt, search for especially virulent plague ingredients and work to pollute the ley lines of power that race across the realms.
