“Can you hear it? The symphony of rot, the whispers of decay... Ah, Melmora sings through me!”
- Fosco, Herald of Melmora
Once an esteemed arcane scholar in Eldanar, Fosco's pursuit of forbidden knowledge led him to the dark embrace of the Lady of Pestilence and Change. Seduced by her chaotic doctrines of decay and rebirth, he descended into madness, twisted by her corrupting influence. He became a grotesque manifestation of Melmora's will, a herald pestilence and rot. In this new form, he stands as a beacon of terror and devotion, wielding dark magic that echoes the entropy of his goddess.
Now, Fosco's aims intertwine with Melmora's desires: to convert Mundus into a realm of perpetual decay, generating enough energy for her beloved queen to be released of her planar prison.
In order to do so, the forces of Melmora must side with the vampires and monsters of Rodburg: together with the forces of the Tyrant-God, the cult of decay see its only chance to corrupt first the land of Rotvar, and later the rest of Mundus.
