Nurgle's Sevenfold Path

Inspired by Buddhism's Noble Eightfold Path, and corrupting the Chaos Eightfold Path and eight-pointed Chaos Star, here is a set of principles for followers of Nurgle. These are based on the seven characteristics of biological life (reproduction, organisation, metabolism, homeostasis, response, adaptation, growth).

Nurgle's Sevenfold Path

Societal

Proliferation: Spread the love of Nurgle to all, and accept others into His embrace.
Cooperation: The group is greater than the individual; work together to achieve more.

Potential

Conversion: Use what is available to you to achieve your ends; Nurgle is Lord of All.
Determination: Keep going no matter what, maintaining your focus and effectiveness.
Reaction: Perceive, understand, and act appropriately in response to events around you.

Developmental

Adaptation: Thrive in any environment through the bounteous gifts of the Plaguefather.
Evolution: Develop yourself and your group over time to become greater than you are now.
