Morgax the Rustlord, god of disease and decay, refuses the company of the other gods and does not discuss plans with them. Alone he broods in a bronze tower at the edge of the Abyss, keeping thoughts secret from all but loyal minions. Those unfortunate enough to encounter this reclusive god in his natural form see a rotting, goat-headed humanoid corpse—neither male nor female. The most secretive of all the gods, his distrust and paranoia rival even Sargonax's.   The Black Wind despises all things healthy and strives to destroy or corrupt all with disease and decay. He speaks little and rarely attacks directly. The Rustlord works to spread plagues and disease in the wake of the War of the Lance. He actively sabotages Mesalax's attempts to heal the people, and his priests are ordered to infect The Blue Lady's priests whenever possible.  

Duties of the Priesthood

Priests of Morgax the Rustlord meet in secret and dark places to worship and plan their evil acts. They swear a mortal oath to keep doctrines and customs secret, and little is known of them outside their order.
