When Nurgle's power waxes, the Garden blooms, encroaching on the lands of the other Chaos Gods. Nurgle's enemies would fight back, and the [[Plaguebearer]]s would take up arms to defend it. Although the Garden will recede again, it would still have fed deeply on the essence of those who have fallen in such wars, and will lie in gestate peace until it is ready to bloom again.{{Fn|3a}}

==Worship of Nurgle==

The followers of Nurgle often pit themselves against those of Tzeentch in complex political intrigues, forever attempting to mire his schemes for change with dull-minded conservationisms and parochial self-interest. Their influence is often successful in thwarting Tzeentch, knowing that whatever survives the collapse into entropy becomes theirs.{{Fn|4b}} The church of the Fly Lord is always open to all.{{Fn|4a}}

*the common Daemons of Nurgle, having a vaguely humanoid appearance with a single burning eye. They are often referred to as the 'Tallymen of Nurgle' for they constantly strive to number the poxes and represent the need of humanity to impose order on a chaotic and uncaring universe.{{Fn|4b}} A single scratch from their rusted swords is sufficient to bestow a plague that sends it's host to Nurgle's realm.{{Fn|4b}} They have special combat abilities allowing them to hurt enemies no matter how tough they are and are consumed with [[Nurgle's Rot]]. The most powerful Plaguebearers will serve as [[Plague Drones]], the heavy cavalry of Nurgle's armies.{{Fn|9}}
