Nurgle will often reward his most favoured followers with special gifts and blessings. Nurgle's gifts can take many forms, including physical mutations, daemon weapons or particularly foul diseases.[8] Notable Plagues/Diseases of Nurgle Nurgle's Rot - the most feared of Nurgle's many contagions - the afflicted i s eventually transformed into a Plaguebearer Zombie Plague - victims of this infection return from the dead as undead zom bies Other named plagues include - The Death Dance, Bulging Eye, Creeping Buboes, Cro ok Bone, Grey Ague and Green Pox.[8] The Garden of Nurgle The Garden of Nurgle The Garden of Nurgle is Nurgle's realm within the Warp. This unwholesome realm i s home to every pox and affliction imaginable and is alive with the stench of ro t. This 'garden' is not a barren wasteland, but rather a macabre paradise of dea th and pestilence. A thick sheet of buzzing swarms of black, furry flies litter the sky, and twisted, rotten boughs entangled with grasping vines cover the moul dering ground, beneath an insect-ravaged canopy of leaves. Defiled fungi both pl ain and extraordinary break through the leaf-strewn mulch of the forest floor, p uffing out vile clouds of spores. Muddy rivers slither across the bloated landsc ape. Nurgle's Mansion of rotted timbers and broken walls resides at the heart of the garden; decrepit and ancient, yet eternally strong at its foundations. It i s within these tumbling walls that Nurgle toils at his cauldron, a receptacle va st enough to contain all the oceans of the worlds of the galaxy. Nurgle keeps his companion Isha trapped in a cage in the garden of Nurgle, in th e corner of a room where he keeps the cauldron in which he creates all of his pl agues.

Although the Garden will recede again, it would still have fed deeply on the essence of those who have fallen in such wars, and will l ie in gestate peace
