Plane of Disease

Overview

The Plane of Disease is the embodiment of all that is wretched. The surface of this plane is made of a diseased, rotten flesh that festers indefinitely. The blisters and pustules act as hills throughout the region, while infected wounds act as canyons. Thick black hairs grow like trees and a murky river of bile and bodily waste flows into a swamp that welcomes adventurers with a smell so pungent, many collapse in disgust. Far to the west, beyond a wall of bone, lies the Temple of Bertoxxulous, the god of plagues and disease. Diseased rats patrol the entire plane, along with giant mosquitoes carrying malaria that hover around the swamp of bile. Venomous spiders lie hidden around the temple, striking any who come near it. Then there are the bubonian ratmen that inhabit the southern region of the plane. Every inch of the Plane of Disease is teeming with pestilence and the odor of death. The temple itself is infested with hundreds of decaying undead soldiers known as the Knights of Pestilence. The inner temple is first guarded by Aramin, a massive spider that even in defeat, will slaughter countless adventurers when dozens of smaller arachnids spill out of her thorax. The true guardian of the Temple of Bertoxxulous is a pair of festering giants known as Gryme and Grummus. For they guard the door that leads to the Ruins of Lxanvom, more commonly known as the Crypt of Decay. Lxanvom is where the Plaguebringer himself, Bertoxxulous resides.
