Behavior & Notes

  • Corrupted growth from sacrilegious burial grounds; spreads rot through roots and spores.
  • Creates decay zones that debuff healing and armor; summons lesser rotlings.
  • Weakness: fire/purification rites; can be contained by sanctifying the ground.
  • Narrative hook: punish burial desecration; cleansing it may restore the land.

Open questions / conflicts

  • Define summon limits and decay-zone size for encounters.
