Natuna

Natuna, often referred to as the Vizier of Disease, is one of the major deities on Sprin'Torel. She is one of the most cruel gods, crafting new and horrible waves of disease and illness to torment every living creature. Though people tend to be split on whether she does what she does out of a disdain for the living or a love for the viral, almost everyone seems to agree that she is a force to be reckoned with.

Nonetheless, it would be amiss to not fear her power to create illnesses that even the most learned doctors can't cure, and the most powerful clerics struggle with curing. And even in times of good health, there is always the constant fear that she may strike.

Worshipers
Natuna's worshipers are often called Plaguecrafters, regardless of whether or not they actually work to make plagues. Society sees these people as more dangerous than any other group of worshipers because there is not only no way to safely direct their fanatical urges to spread plagues, but also because they are often wrought with contagion. They believe that their purpose is to serve as carriers for her illnesses, spreading it to as many people as possible with no care for their own personal health.

Clerics
Clerics of Natuna are easily recognised given that it is rare to see one that is not covered in boils and legions. While they may not be as fanatical as her other worshipers, they see their life purpose as being a breathing incubator for as many viruses and bacteria as possible. Though this tends to make people wary about spending time around them, some of the more desperate hunters or adventurers may turn to these clerics for help, knowing that even the most poisonous of creatures are put from approaching them.

Order

 * The Rotten
 * While many of the members of this order yearn to cover themselves in infectious wounds without any care for the people around them, those that worship Natuna seek out contagions to further their infections. This is done with the express purpose of acting as carriers for these diseases and start plagues.

Rites
As with all other religions, the worship of Natuna involves many rituals and rites. Most of these involve self-mutilation and sacrificial worship. Below is a prayer to Natuna for spreading her disease with the purpose of punishing enemies:"'Natuna, Matron Mother of Disease and Mistress of Illness, may my enemies know your ruinous touch. May they grow ill and wither as their body turns against them as your beloved disease destroys them from the inside out. May potions and tinctures serve to only strengthen your beloved bacteria, and let there be no cure for the havoc you will wreck on them. And once you have finished with them, may your children spread to each of their loved ones, killing them slowly in turn.'"
