Putrid Apothecary of Nurgle

The Putrid Apothecaries were once legitimate physicians who broke under the despair of an unstoppable Great Plague. They found hope in the realization that while the host dies, the sickness thrives beautifully. They now travel to the most desperate parts of cities, offering 'cures' that make the patient a permanent carrier of divine filth.
