The Festered
those who worship Foulrot.
The Festered are a formidable faction of ogres and goblins who worship Foulrot, the deity known as Ful’Rak to his loyal Fulkǐn followers. Dwelling deep within the treacherous expanse of the Vargen Swamplands, the Festered embrace the creeping decay and disease that permeates their land, viewing it as the sacred embodiment of their god’s essence. To outsiders, Foulrot is a malignant force of pestilence and rot, a monstrous figure embodying all that is foul and corrupt in the world. But to the Fulkǐn, Ful’Rak is a deity of unmatched strength, war, and honour, a god who conquered ancient swamp gods and spirits to claim his dominion. His worshippers believe their blood is intertwined with the spiritual essence of the swamps, while Ful’Rak’s veins pulse with dark magic, granting him the power to wield arcane energy as bright yellow lightning, striking fear and destruction into his enemies.
The Festered live by a brutal code shaped by the unforgiving environment of the swamps and the demanding nature of their god. Their society is deeply spiritual, with rituals and rites centered around the veneration of Ful’Rak’s strength and magical prowess. They see the diseases and decay that plague the swamp as both a test and a blessing, a way to prove their worthiness to their god. In battle, they are relentless, drawing upon the raw power of the swamps and the arcane fury of Ful’Rak to overwhelm their enemies. The Festered are a force that thrives in the shadows, embodying the relentless spirit of survival and dominance that their god represents. Their faith is not one of kindness or mercy, but of raw, unyielding power, where only the strong survive, and the weak are consumed by the ever-creeping decay of their god’s domain.
