The world is cursed by a virulent plague that few survive. Those that do are forever changed but
immune to further infection by the plague. The Church has instated an order of survivor clerics,
The Holy Order of Comforters, to bring aid to those afflicted with the plague and to fight those
who would take advantage of the lawless times for personal gain. Of all the peoples of the land,
the rats have the greatest survival rate by far. They have come to dominate the Holy Order and
so the Comforters have come to be called Plaguerats.
All Plaguerats carry two weapons. One weapon they are free to choose, whatever they feel is necessary for their defense. The other weapon is holy incense that holds the plague at bay and soothes those afflicted. The incense is kept burning at all times in hopes of driving the plague from the land once and for all.
