[✗] Mavet, Daemon of Plague

[EmbryoGod 816]

TLDR; Provides an explanation as to why there are still illnesses despite Aenguls like Tahariae that can cure just about anything, also provides the ET some fun stuff to do for future illnesses and stuff. Also when I use the term brother/brethren I mean other immortal beings, not that they are related to each other in any way, shape, or form.

Summary:

Mavet is the polar opposite to his Aegul brother Tahariae. He believes that perfections lies in the existence of all creation, no matter how big or how small. He believes that mortals are all equal on the basis that they all must experience death, and thus everyone should be taken under his fatherly arm and supported.

 

Origin:

After the destruction of Ibless and the original 3 races were left to wander throughout the universe and expand, Aenguls and Daemons tread with them, bringing gifts of fire and spirituality to the fledgling mortals. Mavet, however, refused to participate in such merrymaking activities. In fact, he was too busy marveling at the perfection of such creatures. As time pushed forward (thousands of years seem like a second to an ever-living being, mind you) wars began to erupt from the new races.

Mavut, a typically cheerful guy despite his isolation, simply waited out of patience as demanded by Tahariae, a rather foolhardy and hot-headed Aengul. Tension brewed between the two, as Tahariae oft complained about a lack of perfection from the mortal races- even going so far as to bestow his gift of healing onto the proverbial ants below them. Mavet, as patient as he was, simply grinned and bided his time, wishing not to go against the will of an Angeul that he thought believed in his own ideals.

 

The creation of the Kha:

After Metzli’s failed experiment with the Kha, Mavet became outraged at the hypocrisy of his immortal brethren around him. Yet on principle, he still refused to reveal himself on the mortal plane. Instead, he hatched an idea: as the mortals were too stupid to get along, and the Aengudaemons too proud to see the hypocrisy of their ways, he would create an equalizer, something that would bring everyone to their knees.

And what was more of an equalizer, thought the patient Mavet, than death itself? All will die in their own time, all crumbles and eventually will be rotted away by the slow erosion of time. And, truth be told, he was quite fed up with his goodie-two-shoes Aengul brethren such as Tahariae; thus he created his own race: the Rot.

Rot is an overarching term for all disease. The patient Mavet created the various diseases similar to a hive mind. All disease exists solely to perpetuate itself and take down the much larger, sturdier beings of the world.

 

Asulon:

Mavet laughed giddily at his dozens of new creations, “Finally!” he cried out, “The will of perfection has come!”. To Mavet, perfection exists in death. No matter how different individuals seem at birth and throughout their lives, they all must meet the same fate: to wither away and die at the hand of time.With his concoction ready to spread to the mortals below him, Mavet whispered to them: “I am sorry, most perfect beings of the Creator. But you have failed. Your pantheons of gods have blinded you to the ways of truth, and thus you will be forced to see the light”. At the finality of his monologue, he cast the diseases and plagues down onto the realm of Asulon, gleefully taking the souls of those who perished because of his creation into his realm of serendipity. For those Mavet blesses with his creation, he said, will gain eternal life with him, in his home above the clouds.

 

Mavet’s Duty:

After bringing his creation down to the mortals of Asulon, Mavet has made it his sworn oath to bring those sick and dying to his embracing kingdom. It has been said that Mavet grants mighty boons to those he deems worthy to carry on his work in the mortal plane: giving them immunity to disease, and granting them the authority to carry all of his pathogens on them at any given time.

Thus, his champions and worshippers almost always are sickly: their skin turned a leathery yellow-green, boils and pus on their bodies. To those that look to them, it appears horrifying and disgusting, but to those that have been granted such powers, it is a gift indeed. For they understand what awaits them after their mortal lives end, and they are happy about it.

 

Mavet’s Kingdom in the Sky:

Mavet’s realm is filled with the sick and or dying that were brought to him after death. They walk around, no longer feeling pain or illness. They often times offer their services to the great Mavet, who sits at a cooking pot, brewing different diseases at any given time. Mavet’s castle is one that is rotted and decaying. In fact, if one ever saw Tahariae’s Kingdom, it was the same tower as his, although completely decayed, diseases and creatures most foul running through the decaying, vine-covered halls.

Mavet sits at the head table of Tahariae’s now ruined courthouse, a large cauldron bubbling with pestilence and filth, souls of those taken calling out to Mavet to drop them into the stew, so that they may be reborn as illness to be flung throughout the mortal realm. A sweet perfume of decay would wash over anyone who would be lucky enough to gain entry into such a room.

 

Appearance and his Boon:

Mavet himself is a gigantic blob of fat and disgust. His entrails hang out at parts of his engorged stomach, his most devout followers using them as makeshift hammocks. His skin is a leathery yellow-green, and two horns protrude from either side of his round, baby-ish head. He has three eyes: two to look down at his cauldron, and one to look upon and care for all the souls in his kingdom. He is often seen cuddling kittens when he’s not working on disease.

His boon is reserved for the very few, those who Mavet deems worthy of his special attention and appreciation. They become immune to disease and can spread it willfully, manipulating the will of the Rot as they see fit. They no longer feel pain the same way that those of other groups feel, as most of their nerve endings have died from various communicable diseases that Mavet has given them.

And of course, any individual that gets their life taken by his champions get a place at Mavet’s kingdom, where they may live forever and eat from the fruit of sickness in the gardens of filth.

 

Personality:

Mavet has never been capable of holding a grudge. He’s simply a fat, jolly Daemon. He often visits the realms of the Aenguls, leaving them freshly made food. Mavet’s demeanor has been described as “Fatherly” by those who have heard his deep timber of a voice in their ear, as he allows anyone entry into his kingdom, and accepts anyone as they are: believing that the creations of the Creator are perfect in their own ways.

 

Relation with other Aenguls/Daemons:

• Tahariae: As one could imagine, Tahariae is most certainly not happy at Mavet for his constant meddling in the world of the Aenguls, as well as ruining his idea of perfection. The two are polar opposites, and should never be in the same room together.

• Yen Rthulu: Mavet very much so appreciates Yen Rhtulu’s personality as a caring mother. He absolutely adores Augurs despite their inability to carry his disease, and hopes that one day he may be able to take them into his kingdom, where they may make merry for all of eternity.

• Metzli: Mavet doesn’t trust Metzli around his babies.

Mithius Dalma is one of his disguises confirmed.

Aha, I think this lore for  Nurgle  Mavet would be good!

 

I love new chaos gods daemon lore being brought into LotC

 

Where'd you get your inspiration for him, though?

In all seriousness though, I do really like this idea. I'd flesh out the lore a bit more and try to deviate just a tad from Nurgle, and extend a story or two about Mavet here.

While this lore seems great and all, he seems to be nearly identical to Orgon. Perhaps a Daemon shouldn't represent pestilence?

He moreso is supposed to represent a balanced structure to the Aenguls, patience, and things kind of equalizing out. It just so happens that his star creation was Disease. Metzli was the Daemon of the Moon (I believe), but created the Kha. It's a similar situation to that (he's more known for his creation than what he is supposed to represent).

It's the general consensus across the LT is that thus would need to be expanded on to be approved, albeit the concept could work well.
