Origin
During the Age of Myth Nurgle slowly watched the realms, whispering assurances to those crying out for salvation promising salvation from grief if they abandoned the Pantheon of Order. Unlike Tzeentch who led mortals astray through deception Nurgle sent boons to petitioners faster than they could hope for although these did not always come in the way they would expect. Ultimately this brought the Age of Chaos when the Plague Legions marched into the realms gaining allies among the Beasts of Chaos, Skaven of Pestilens clans and mortals who had realised the futility of resistance. These mortals would become the first Rotbringers, joining with the Daemons to form the first Maggotkin hosts.[11a]
