Spoilborne

"Nothing blooms without rot."

Symbol

An open fungal bloom cradling a cracked skull—half remembered, half decomposed. Often worn as a lichen brooch or burned into moss-silk hoods.

The Spoilborne Path believes that decay isn’t just natural—it’s sacred. They preach that progress comes only through deliberate destruction of stagnant systems, especially societal structures that resist renewal. They view the Core as a parasite on the planet’s natural cycle, and see the Velari’s memory obsessions as spiritual hoarding.

Core Tenants

• Fungal Purge Doctrine: Institutions must be broken down like compost—decentralised, digested, and returned to soil. This applies to architecture, political leadership, even cultural rituals.
• Rot Invocation: Members carry vials of accelerated decay spores, which can corrode tech, glyph-ink, or fungal walls. These are used not maliciously, but symbolically—to mark systems "ready to fall."
• Forget to Flourish: They oppose tattooed memory as a form of stagnation. In their eyes, obsession with lineage prevents true transformation. They teach memory-erosion techniques using spore-induced amnesia.

Headquarters

Huskfold Caverns, hidden within eroded mycelial tombs beneath Orraspire. These dark grottos are filled with fallen sporescribes, rotting sigil scrolls, and fungal effigies of broken leaders.

• Opposed by Glowroot Choir, who see the Spoilborne as sacrilegious extremists.
• Feared by Verdans, as they promote symbolic tech sabotage and radical cultural erasure.
• Quietly supported by fringe Philoforms who believe forgetting is a path to enlightenment.

A well known leader

Moldreth of the Deep Fold A gaunt, moss-crowned figure whose spores sing decay. Moldreth preaches through silence—never speaking aloud, only releasing clouds of rotglyphs that unravel memory and melt structures. Some say he once bore the glyph of a Verdant judge, now twisted beyond recognition. Where he walks, remembrance curdles.
