Nardul

Nardul is the god of Death, Pestilence, and Disease. Known as the Plaguefather, Nardul is most commonly worshiped by Necromancers and poisoners, though some apothecaries and physicians pay a modicum of tribute and respect to Nardul in their ventures to treat and cure diseases. Nardul takes pleasure in the suffering of mortal beings succumbing to the ills and pains of all diseases and poisons, from the annoyance of a common cold, the permanently debilitating blinding sickness, to the agonizing deaths of bubonic plague victims.
Nardul and his followers are responsible for most of the deadliest and notable outbreaks of plague and pandemic level infections in Eltharia's history, and his followers are known to study and experiment with differing diseases and toxins. It is said that long ago, due to a particularly fatal plague, Autarkeian punished Nardul by requiring that the Plaguefather serve as his personal herald, bringing forth all of the souls of dead mortals to him for judgment.
Nardul is a bitter enemy of Ramses, taking offense whenever an adherent of the Healing god manages to save another mortal from death or misery at the hands of disease or poisoning. Nardul is also a direct patron of necromancers, and revels in the presence of the unnatural existence of undead creature. Particularly, Nardul offers his patronage to intelligent undead such as Vampires.

Physical Description

Identifying Characteristics

Nardul appears to mortals as a living corpse, with the eyes being completely white with no pupil. The Plaguefather appears at different times to be ridden with oozing sores, a variety of fatal, open wounds, or a combination of both, and his clothing takes the most appropriate form to the mortal death he is depicting; a funerary shroud stained with pus, full armor broken where a fatal found shows beneath, and other similar combinations are all possible.
