Nurgle, Nurgle, quite horrid purple, how does your Garden grow?
25 Oct 24: The Brotherhood of the Garden
The Brotherhood of the Garden, (or the Gardeners for short) are a warband dedicated to spreading the gifts of Nurgle, and the fruits of Lord Nurgle’s labour through their own works.
They prefer to target industrial worlds: Hive Worlds, Factory planets and Logistics hubs, anywhere that the Imperium has covered the surface with their ugly structures.
They work to bring them back to a glorious, green state, reminiscent of their visions of Papa Nurgle’s own domain. When the Gardeners achieve their goals, they lovingly craft gardens of fungus and putrescence fed by the blood and bone of the former inhabitants.
The colour of their armour was once a bright yellow. Time spent working in the dirt and the earth and the ash has somewhat diminished the brightness. Nevertheless, they retain their yellow so that they can be seen. Not for them dark or gloomy colours. Visibility is important: all must know that the Gardeners are at work.
The brothers constantly exude a fecund slime, in this trail sprout fungi, moss, algaes. As they dismantle the structures of industry, the slime is infused into the ruins. When the Brotherhood moves on, the wild growth grows and feeds on the the corpses, becoming a little extension of Nurgle’s Garden on another world. So, does Nurgle’s influence extend ever further.
