The Rot

The Rot seemingly exists as a not only an unnatural substance, but also as a dark form of magic. In essence, the Rot is essentially an evil, disgusting entity of which many creatures and arts of magic reference and draw power from. It is unclear as to what causes the Rot, or as to whom or what spreads its unnatural and foul presence, but the actions of which it has caused has led many to only know of those associated with Rot as bad, malicious beings whom only seek to destroy and bring death upon the landscape.

While the Rot is essentially a evil, dangerous entity, it is not the only dark or unnatural entity within Auriga. Indeed, while other arts or entities exist of various origins can be used to manifest or reform the environment or other perhaps deconstructing an item, the Rot serves as perhaps the darkest and most malicious form of the energy within Auriga; Its only intent seems to be bringing an end and eventual death to every living being and use them as a carrier to spread itself.

The origin of The Rot is questionable: Many of those that inhabit Auriga have differing views as to why it was created and how. While some claim it was as an act of a high deity or god becoming angry with the land, others will claim that it was as the result of those with bad intentions set to bring about some reign of their own.
