Carrion, the Rot and Decay

Summary

Carrion is the deity responsible for the processes of decomposition within Fanewick. Appearing as a humanoid dung beetle, he is a solitary figure who mostly keeps to himself. His core philosophy is centered on the necessity of the natural cycle: for life to truly flourish and begin anew, it must first undergo rot and decay. He teaches that sacrifice is essential to this cycle, and that one must experience the loss of their crops to truly appreciate the eventual fruit of their labor.
