Rotmire Blight

The Hollowed Dead
The Restless Rot They are the ones we expected. The ones we thought we understood. The ones we thought we could handle. But it is not just their hunger that makes them terrifying—it is their numbers. When people speak of the Rotmire Blight, they often co...
The Whisperers
The Lying Dead They don’t fight like the others. They make you come to them. Of all the horrors the Blight has birthed, the Whisperers remain the most insidious. They do not lurch forward with guttural moans like the mindless husks of lesser undead. No, ...

The Blightburst
Death Comes Bursting At first, we mistook it for another of the countless pitiful shamblers that infest the marsh. It lurched toward us, stumbling through knee-deep muck, its bloated form swaying grotesquely, limbs swollen beyond recognition. We joked nervo...

The Penitent: The Ghost of the Blight
Purity is not measured in mercy. It is measured in the number of corpses left behind. In the past year, as the Blight spread across Faulmoor, a name has surfaced in whispers—not a title of rank or lineage, but a name spoken with dread. The Penitent is not...
