Description:

The brother of Death and the twin of Decay. He is a High Lord of Chaos. Also known as The Festering Lord in the far western lands. Elsewhere he is also referred to as Voma and Krur.

Although worshipped all over Titan, both Disease and his brother are most avidly worshipped in southern Khul in pockets around the Scythera desert. The city of Shakuru is wgere the High Priest of Disease sits. Also, there is a mighty temple to these gods and their various minor gods and demi-gods a few days outside Assur, following the river inland towards the desert.

He is often portrayed as a disease ridden, malformed man. His symbol is the maggot and his sacred colour is Pus Yellow. Adventuring priests of Disease will rarely be encountered.
