Worn by the grim, silent officers who helmed La Peste's Cadaver Fleets
Flesh rots and skin sloughs away, but devotion endures.
-Fifth Tenet of the Cult of Decay
To excise humanity from the flesh, and slake one's fury upon the foe
Grisly visage of a plague victim; war mask and sacred relic both
Let them see their comrades again--draped round our shoulders, still writhing soundlessly
As blowflies to a corpse, thronging devotees were drawn to La Peste's wake
Graven motifs ward the deep gods of disease away from oneself--and invoke them upon others
The butchers of the fleets dismembered bodies and cast them overboard to spread sickness
La Peste sent forth waves of plague-ridded followers to choke the cannons of his foes
