Blights

What are Blights?


When living beings die, their souls become soul moths and receive the Mark of Death, which indicates their destination. All soul moths are given the mark regardless of their destination.

There are two places soul moths can go.

A good majority goes to Ithis to be cleansed into new souls. It does not matter if they have done evil in their lifetime, as long as tehy understand and express genuine remorse for their doing, they can go to Ithis.

There are those who fail to do this, seeking to cause pain and suffering to others in life and even in death. They are sent to Nim, and corrupted by their own evil, they turn into Blights.

A soul turning into a Blight is an irreversible process; they can never turn back into soul moths.

Blights can take many forms, and rarely resemble their appearance in life. They are mindless and motivated solely by instincts and hatred.

They mostly remain in Nim, but a few escape to the mortal realm. A Blight consumes the energy of the living souls around it, thus its own existence is a detriment to its environment,  so whenever gods or their servants encounter a Blight, they must dispose of it immediately.

Blights are some of the few things that are able to harm gods and their servants. On top of that, sometimes there are blights implanted with the essence of Nim, another one of the few things that can harm a god. It is extremely volatile and destructive in nature. The moment it touches anything that is not a Blight or does not pertence to the Kingdom of Nim, it will exert a destructive force that collapses or pulverises its surroundings.
