SETUP

Put 2 Presenceicon.png and 1 Diseaseicon.png on your starting board, in the highest-numbered Wetland.

PLAY STYLE

A bit messy - wants to splatter Wildsicon.png/Diseaseicon.png everywhere but they get removed by Invader Actions, and wants to stockpile Rot but doesn't keep all that well.
Gains and spends/loses Rot in a lot of ways - paying close attention results in an intricate and finicky stockpile-management game, playing more fast-and-loose works but incurs some inefficiency and missed opportunities; pick your style.

Spreading Rot Renews the Earth.png

From the Playmat

Upon death, wood and flesh alike decay and return to the land, leading to further life and part of the natural cycle of renewal and fertility. The remains of a single tree will feed a myriad of mosses, molds, and fungi; the body of one large animal makes a banquet for insects and - indirectly - the soil.

Spreading Rot Renews the Earth is one of countless Spirits which partake of this cycle. However, it's somewhat more aggressive than most about acquiring nutrients for the earth and building up massive mats of choking fungus. The Dahan appreciate its place in nature, but try to keep their distance from where it's most active. The Invaders are not so lucky.

Notes

  1. ↑ Eric Reuss: On reflection, both Rot loss and Energy gain would probably be better as (round down) rather than (round up) - slightly less Energy income (especially early game), slightly better Rot stockpiling.
