Decay incarnate is goddess of decomposition. Without Decay, soulless bodies left
behind after death would never decay. She frees nutrients for the soil and
permits growth to come anew. Along with her brother Plague, she
created the bacteria that now spread far across Elthyra. However
vital her services, mortals revile Decay; she is believed to be hideous,
skeletal, and rotting in her physical form, and her stench upon a body is
thought to herald her brother’s next gift. Should she ever appear in her true
form, she can be smelled from a hundred miles away.
