2->Nurgle's Rot, as I have indicated before, is not a mortal illness. It is entirely supernatural and daemonic in nature, not so much infecting its host as ''[[DemonicPossession possessing]]'' them. Indeed, the fate of those damned and poor unfortunates who contract the disease is not simply to rot away and die, but to be [[ReforgedIntoAMinion transfigured in body and soul into one of Nurgle's Tallymen]] -- a daemonic footsoldier in the service of the [[EldritchAbomination Lord of Decay]].\
3And indeed this is the most horrifying aspect of contracting the Rot: the certainty of one's own damnation, regardless of how much one might wish it otherwise. Short of employing [[HealingHands the most powerful magic]], there is simply no way to escape it.

7->I believe I am not understating when I say that the [[AndManGrewProud second sin]] unleashed the bane of all life upon Thedas. [[OurOrcsAreDifferent The Darkspawn]] are more virulent than the worst plague, a heartless force of nature that came into our world like an ill wind. We know from accounts of later Blights[[note]]as these darkspawn invasions came to be called -- never has a more appropriate name existed[[/note]] that the Darkspawn [[WalkingWasteland spread disease and famine wherever they tread]]. The earth itself is [[MeatMoss corrupted by their presence]], the sky roiling with angry black clouds. I do not exaggerate, my friends, when I say that a mass gathering of Darkspawn is an omen of dread cataclysm.

10->''"It flows across time, a disease floating on Quantum Foam. \
11Sumerians called it [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the Eater]]. In Babylon they named it [[MeaningfulName Nergal's Rot]]. Dead tongues dubbed it the [[IHaveManyNames Devouring Plague, the Zero Point Pathogen, the Dark Homunculus, the Blackworm Jism]]. Information is a super-weird substance, sometimes floating as oil, sometimes vapour, invisible waves, pollution, roiling black storms, a [[BrownNote viral rhyme]].\
12It is the harbinger of change -- the [[EldritchAbomination sizzling, celestial syphilis]]. The flesh [[BodyHorror mutates]]. The mind [[SanitySlippage boils to bilious madness]]. All lucid thoughts to slay. All sweetlings are fair game to the drip."''

15->Animescence is a rare disease of the Elder Continent. [[ImHavingSoulPains A slow combustion of the soul]], gradually baking the vital organs. Poets suffer worse than most; lovers worst of all. The blistered monks who run the hospital will accept any assistance.

19->'''Lois:''' Don't you see what's happening?\
20'''Peter:''' Of course I do, Lois. Our fresh-faced little boy is becoming a pock-marked, hideously disfigured man. Sunrise, sunset.\
21'''Brian:''' No, no, no, Peter! The light bulbs last night? My fleas? Chris' pimples? They're just like darkness, gadflies and boils, three of the plagues God visited upon Egypt when the Pharaoh angered Him in the Old Testament.
