Ordo Plaga [Abendrot]

[Jeonsa]

"Spread The Rot."

In Abendrot. A strange group can be found. One of festering demons, those with pus and flesh hanging from their bodies. Yet they seem not to mind such. In fact they embrace it. Allowing for it to grow. Those Demons belong to the Ordo Plaga. A group of fanatics within Abendrot solely loyal to the Fel Khan and none others. An Order of Demons and Mortals within Abendrot. Believing that the allowance of Pestilence shall set them free of pain and suffering. And to spread such a love to the world. That one who embraces the plague, shall be reborn anew.

---

- Purpose -

To serve the Fel Khan. And to spread Rot and Pestilence to the world. Creating of new Diseases to spread to the Mortals. There are plenty of purposes that the Ordo possess. Yet none truly fully known yet to the world. Only that they exist. Festering their devious machinations for the world. In its conquest for Demons and the Fel Khan.

- Practices -

Birth of a Plague Bearer
When a Herald of the Plague finds one loyal to the Ordo, they may grant to them the body of a Plague Bearer. Using the parasites from within their own body to enter into their new host. Transforming them painfully into a new being. Some take on the flesh and rot upon their bodies. Others change in different ways. Yet change occurs and they are reborn anew. A grandiose occasion for all in the Ordo.

Ceremony of Pestilence
The time of new Plagues come. And the Ordo holds ceremony for the creation of said new plague before it is unleashed into the world upon the Mortals that live within it. Pieces of each Plague Bearer and Herald of the Plague tossed together with the other ingredients of the new plague. To create something truly vile.

Communion of Rot
A march into the world of Mortals. Said to rot and poison anything living in their wake. An occasion of spreading rot into the world. The most common practice of the Ordo. And most exciting, for it calls the time for new servants and those unloved to be found. To be newly blessed with the plague.

- Structure and Organization - 

Slave of the Ordo
Those captured by the Ordo, used for its purposes. From work to fighting. Usually uninfected by the blessings of the Ordo, or perhaps unwilling. Though everything has a time. Perhaps one day they may see the light of the Plague?

Servants of the Ordo
Those Loyal to the Ordo. Yet have not been blessed by the Plague yet. Seen as lesser. Yet treated with more respect then slaves. Trained slowly to rise in the ranks of the Ordo. To become something more then a simple servant.

Plague Nuns/Monks
Those who show promise. Who preach the word of the Ordo. Spreading the love of pestilence to the land willingly. Loyal to the Ordo and the Fel Khan. The Nun's and Monks are the frontline of the Mortals serving the Ordo. From finding new willing servants. Or making others realize the love of Rot. By force.

Plague Priests/Priestesses
Those who show much more promise. Capable of leading the Plague Nuns/Monks and organizing them properly for missions and such into the lands of the Mortals.

Plague Bearers
Mortals blessed by the Plague. Passing through their rites. Allowing and surviving the parasites placed into their bodies. Becoming something more then Mortal, closer to the master they serve.

Plaguelings
Lesser Demons that find themselves born closer to the Plague. To Rot. And Pestilence. Usually disgusting and vile creations, mutated and rotting.

Heralds of the Plague
Higher Demons that have evolved from the smaller Plaguelings. More so then capable of leading the lessers and mortals in the Ordo into Battle.

Harbingers of the Plague
Mortals and Demos alike can attain this position. Through devout loyalty to the Fel Khan, Pestilence, and the Plague Lord. More then capable of fighting their own battles and devising plans to further the plague themselves. These are the Leaders under the Plague Lord. Managing their own minions and tasks as need be.

The Plague Lord
A seat reserved only for a Demon that has been the most closest Pestilence. One of Utmost Loyalty to the Fel Khan. Carrying out his Duties as the Lord of the Ordo Plaga. Furthering the spread of Plagues and Rot to the Mortal World.

"From here on. We shall forge our own Destiny. A Rebellion to the Gods. For we shall make our own Paradise here amongst the Living. Let the Rot Spread." - Plague Lord, Balrith.

EBONHOLD
Ordo Plaga

There in the Shadowlands. Lays a fortress long since abandoned. Covered now in rot and pestilence, of the parasites that crawl on the ground. Yet, one can see life as well begin to flourish. Flowers sprout and trees grow. The Cycle of Life and Death. Those who have fled their homes. Fled the witches. Fled their destiny. To carve a new path form themselves. Be it the world against them? Be it the gods against them! They will fight for their own salvation. For their own Paradise amongst the living. A Rage against the Gods that created them. Of the gods that wish to snuff them out. A Final Stand. To cement their right to live in this world. 

And so here begins the story of Ebonhold. Will these group of Demons, Witches, Cambons, and Mortals be able to hold their ground against the many armies that will simple wish them dead? Or shall they thrive. To create that Paradise. To rebel against the Gods.

"The Fel Gods Forsake us. Sending us to only die as pawns in their games. The Gods of Meranthe see us as nothing but pests. Roaches to be exterminated. Do we not also have a right to live? My Kin? Or shall we be shackled by our very nature. I say no more! No more shall we live like hunted hounds! No more shall we live to be the pawns of the Fel Gods! 

For Today I call upon a grand Rebellion against the Gods!

Let is be known. From here on we shall go our own path. To choose our own Destiny. To Create our own Paradise here in the Shadowlands. And to those who shall attempt to stop us? We shall show no mercy. 

Come Brothers. Come Sisters. Demons. Cambions. Mortals. From here, we shall forge our own Destiny." - Plague Lord, Balrith

The Town of Ebonhold

The People

A town of Mortals, Demons and Cambions living together. All towards one goal. To forge their own destiny in these lands. Those out casted for their beliefs. Those hunted for their birth. Or those who simple wish to take revenge upon the very Gods of the world themselves. 

The Beliefs

All are born into this world. All die in this world. That everything is apart of the cycle of life. But for their to be rebirth, one must allow for rot to take hold. To nurture the new life to come about from it. Not much is known of this Religion other then such. Does it even have a god their worship?
