The bastion of today is tomorrow's ruin, the maiden of the morning is the crone of the night, and the hope of a moment is but the foundation of regret. Even the process of creation is but the precursor to destruction and decay. All things, no matter how solid and permanent they seem, are liable to eventual corruption and death.

Nurgle is the Great Lord of Decay and the Master of Plague and Pestilence. Many of those affected by Nurgle's poxes usually turn to the god in order to escape the pain and sheer despair caused by sickness and disease.

While those who wish to spread decay and corruption are certainly amongst its followers, there are also those who wish to endure, to become resilient enough to handle the difficulties and opportunities presented by an uncaring universe. In the same way, Nurgle is also the god of perseverance and survival. Decay is simply one part of the cycle of life, without which no new life could grow. While Nurgle is the god of death and decay, it is also the god of rebirth. Nurgle is the Chaos God most directly involved with the plight of mortals, particularly Humans who suffer so acutely from a fear of death, perhaps the oldest fear of that species, or any other. Nurgle was the third of the Chaos Gods to fully awaken within the Warp, emerging during the 2nd Millennium in the midst of Old Earth's European Middle Ages, as great plagues swept across the world heralding the god's birth.

In particular, the emotion of despair in mortals empowers the Plague God more than any other. Upgrading the Temple of Nurgle will increase the troop training capacity of the Chaotic Rift and provide an armor bonus to Nurgle Units.Nurgle, also known as the " Plague Lord," " Grandfather Nurgle," the " Plague God," the " Lord of Pestilence," the " Fly Lord," " Plaguefather," and the " Lord of Decay" among many other honourifics, is the Chaos God of disease, decay, despair, destruction, death and rebirth. The Temple of Nurgle is an auxiliary production building.
