The god of decay has two religions, the Order of Rot, and the Path of Decay. This god doesn't care about anything but his goal. His goal is for everyone to dpread disease and pestilence all over the megaverse. His title is decieving and he knows it. When people think of him they are not intimidated. "oooohhhh, a god of rotting stuff!" He is much more than that. He symbolises death and disease as well. There were other death gods but he is the most cunning, disguising himself as a lowly god. He has hatred and contempt for everyone and everything. He has followers because he knows he needs them to gain power. If he is to destroy everything, he needs people to do his dirty work. He lures them with the promises of an afterlife worth being in. Anyone who worships him gets to torment those who they did not like in life. They can also just become disease(his explaination of disease) and cause so much more carnage. The leaders ofd these religions must do a ritual with rotting flesh and their own blood to communicate with Hurnix. This is to show loyalty and commitment.
Commen beliefs to both orders:
In life, it is our duty to create. Creating destruction(in the form of death and disease) is no different. It is merely another way to express oneself. In order for things to rot, the time of spirit release, they must have lived and died. The best way, according to Hurnix, is disease. When things rot, they bring many diseases and parasites. The best way for people o catch them is to ingest them. It is a commen occurence for people to have rotting corpses in their wells.
Order of Rot:
Specific beliefs:
They are more "artisitic" then the Path of Decay. When destroying things, you must make it the perfect time and place. The best reaction possible. Peoples panic and reaction is almost as important as the destruction itself. They do things slowly and properly with no tolerance for failure.
Numbers:
19,000
Leader:
The leader changes every year. There is a vote amongst the people. This is much cause for competition, which is VERY healthy for an organization as complex as a relgion.
Path of Decay:
Specific beliefs:
They do things quickly and efficiently. The job must get done to please Hurnix. They are slightly nomadic because of their foolhardy nature. They are discovered far too often so they move around constantly. When an area is infected it is best to move on.
Numbers:
22,000
Leader:
They have no real leader, someone with a forceful will just assumes control whenever. This is a very rag-tag group which is good for chaotic types.
