Gavespawn

The Gavespawn are the greatfray of endless corruption, and the prophet they follow will not stay dead. They revere Morghur the Shadowgave: the deathless corruptor, a being of pure formless mutation who has died more times than any chronicle records and returned from each. They hold that his essence was never bound to one body, but lives on scattered through the world in every warping of flesh.

Where other herds cull the malformed as ill omens, the Gavespawn exalt them. A cyclopean calf, a limb where none should be, a beast that cannot hold a shape. These are not defects to the Shadowgave's children but relics of the god made visible. Their mightiest champions are said to carry a shard of Morghur's spirit within them, a splinter of living chaos that lends power and slowly unmakes the bearer. When such a champion falls the shard does not die with him; it passes, in blood and screaming, into whoever stands nearest and worthiest, and the corruption walks on wearing a new face. To fight the Gavespawn is to fight something that cannot be permanently killed, only postponed: slay their champions and the essence relocates; scatter their herds and the mutation seeds itself in the land behind. They are living proof of Chaos's oldest promise: that nothing holds its shape forever.
