Pantheon
Ghlaunder (pronounced GHLAWN-dur) is the deity of infection, parasites, stagnation, disease, and insects. His religious symbol is that of a blood-engorged mosquito. Other symbols associated with Ghlaunder include a circular maze-like pattern. A voracious and vile deity of unclear origin, Ghlaunder revels in the spreading of suffering, plagues, parasites, stagnation, filth, decay, and death.

Chaotic EvilA chaotic evil character is driven entirely by her own anger and needs. She is thoughtless in her actions and acts on whims, regardless of the suffering it causes others.
In many ways, a chaotic evil character is pinned down by her inherent nature to be unpredictable. She is like a spreading fire, a coming storm, an untested sword blade. An extreme chaotic evil character tends to find similarly minded individuals to be with—not out of any need for company, but because there is a familiarity in this chaos, and she relishes the opportunity to be true to her nature with others who share that delight. - Nationality

Chaotic NeutralA chaotic neutral character values his own freedom and ability to make choices. He avoids authority and does not fear standing out or appearing different. In extreme cases, he may embrace a lifestyle entirely suited to himself— living in a cave near a city, becoming an artist, or otherwise challenging traditions. He never accepts anything at face value and makes up his own mind rather than blindly accepting what others tell him to do or think., NENeutral EvilMotivated by his own needs and wants, a neutral evil character is without conscience, acting only for self-gratification. He might surround himself with the trappings of cults and evil, but does so purely because it brings him closer to sin and wickedness. While a lawful evil person is inclined to bargain and a chaotic evil one to lash out, a neutral evil person is inclined only to look out for himself. In many ways, he epitomizes evil, since he has no clear loyalty to anything except absolute self-interest., CE
An extremist neutral evil character tends to be a loner, since he has either betrayed or slain those who came close to knowing him.Chaotic EvilA chaotic evil character is driven entirely by her own anger and needs.

Edicts
Corrupt pieces of land, water sources, and communities; infest the weak; spread and nurture disease
Anathema
Aid in ending a plague or infection, destroy something out of hand when you could have instead corrupted it or leeched off it first
Obedience
Craft a small poppet in the shape of a flea, tick, stirge, or other such plague-carrying creature, using natural materials such as straw, and mixing your blood with foul-smelling mud or dung to bind the poppet together. As it dries over the course of an hour, recite verses invoking virulence, filth, and affliction on the living while applying leeches to your flesh. At the end of the hour, burn the poppet and the leeches, inhaling the foul vapors while meditating on the purging effects of disease on the living while your leech-drawn blood burns in sacrifice to Ghlaunder. If you are affected by a disease, any ability score damage or drain you would take from that disease today is halved; if you would take 1 point of ability score damage, you instead take none. You can still contract diseases and spread them to others as normal.Boons
