Virastir

Virastir is the essence of entropy, antipathy, decay and death.

Description
Virastir is depicted in every culture in the world as a spirit of death, both feared and respectful for its awful power.

Acolytes
Throughout history, Virastir has had the greatest following of acolytes, choosing those whose hearts are swayed to malice and spite. Somewhat paradoxically, Virastir is the most dangerous essence to harness, being the only essence that does not grant immortality to its acolytes and causing harm to all it touches.

Affliction
No matter how powerful the acolyte, Virastir's affliction is inevitable and swift. Once it manifests itself, the affliction will transform the acolyte's body into a withered, rotting husk that ultimately crumbles into dust.
