Nurgle, as the God of Disease, oversees all physical corruption and morbidity. His body, bloated with corruption, radiates a sickly stench. His power ebbs and flows as his diseases spread, are cured, or exterminate all life. Despite his terrifying appearance, Nurgle is a welcoming deity, cherishing his followers' accomplishments and shielding them from pain and death. Many afflicted by his diseases seek his protection to alleviate their suffering.
