[Free] Broadsword Guide to the Negative Energy Plane Monsters - The Corroded

Added 2025-02-12 20:06:08 +0000 UTC

The Corroded are a grim and wretched order, their bodies ravaged by the slow march of entropy. Their flesh is marred by open sores, festering boils, and half-healed wounds that never fully close, a reflection of their belief that all things must rot and break. Many among them cough wetly, their breath rattling with unseen infections, yet they do not falter. Their bodies, though diseased and failing, have grown resistant to poison, plague, and sickness, enduring where others would collapse. They are the walking ruin of the multiverse, fearless in the face of death because to them, death is nothing more than the natural unraveling of order.

They wear patchwork armor forged from rusted metal and broken remnants, their weapons crude and jagged, prone to snapping and crumbling in battle—but they simply fight on, wielding whatever remains. In their eyes, permanence is an illusion, and to cling to it is weakness. Their citadels, bleak and crumbling, stand in the quasi-elemental borderlands of the Negative Energy Plane, where the air is thin and the very world erodes beneath their feet. Some among them venture further, into the starless void of the Negative Energy Plane itself, seeking the purest form of dissolution in the endless dark.
