Blight

The Blight was created by Gaia long-ago as one of her precious Genoi, powerful servile spirits designed to guard and enrich the environment. Meant to fulfill a hygienic role within nature, the Blight was in charge of death, decay and decomposition. It was the purpose of the Blight to recycle and reuse nature's material and allow for life to bloom again from death.
Unfortunately, with the creation of mankind and the introduction of civilization, humanity's free-will brought a spiritual element to Earth that was unknown to nature - real Evil. Not just error or bad habits or anything like that, but real, conscious Evil, the stuff of Infernalism. 
As civilization's excesses increased, so did the Blight. And as mankind's awareness of Evil increased, so did its presence within the Blight. In time, the Blight became infected by Infernalism and went mad. Were before it sought to purify and renew nature, now it seeks to consume Gaia whole. 
Defeating the Blight has proved problematic, however, because the Blight has parasitically attached itself to mankind. Feeding off of the rich pollution and excesses of society, the Blight has grown far more powerful than Gaia ever intended for a Genoi to be. 
== Facts: ==
-The Blight was once the Genoi in charge of death, decomposition and new life. But after its fall to the Darkness, the Blight is now a thing of pollution and corruption. 
-Fallen who serve the Blight may develop some of the basic abilities of the Order of Gaia. 
-The Blight's Modus Operandi is corruption. It does not seek to create its own servants but instead corrupts other creatures and twists their nature and powers to suit its own goals. It will corrupt anything it can, although the Blight prefers to corrupt creatures of Gaia more than any other. 
-People and things corrupted by the Blight will eventually begin to manifest a sickly greenish-black sludge known as Smear. Smear is believed to be the physical manifestation of the Blight's polluted excesses. 
-Smear frequently appears, often out of nowhere, in places overtaken by the servants of the Blight. It can form on walls, floors, and hang from ceilings in twisting masses of tendrils. It also appears as 'roots' or tentacles growing in the flesh of those heavily under the power of the Blight. 
-Wherever pollution and the destruction of nature is present, there the Blight will be at its strongest.
