Worn by the grim, silent officers who helmed La Peste's Cadaver Fleets
To excise humanity from the flesh, and slake one's fury upon the foe
Flesh rots and skin sloughs away, but devotion endures.
-Fifth Tenet of the Cult of Decay
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
