The ruler of Vornheim is a frost giant queen, trapped high above the city in-between the two hands of Vorn - the twin towers of the Palace Massive and the Eminent Cathedral.
She looks down over the city she rules from within the clutches of the two towers that twist around her.
The party called down Vorn to stop this queen and her invading army, but once she was trapped they backflipped and made her the ruler of Vornheim. At that point, zombies were invading, the city was ravaged, and they decided the entire universe was irretrievably fucked. The only solution was to go back in time.
All of the world's problems were caused by the party themselves. To fix the world's problems, all they had to do was kill their very first quest-giver. If old man Crithens hadn't told them about that secret treasure, they wouldn't have become adventurers, and they wouldn't have gone on to ravage the world. Old Man Crithens was the lynchpin of all the world's woes.
With help from their Benefactors, they managed to go back and kill Crithens easily.
The betaverse party stayed peacefully in their peasant village. A new timeline - the Betaverse - was split off. Everything was fine. No zombies, no invading elves, no ravaged Vornheim. There was just one fatal flaw: They were still alive.

karnopticon rewards favour to those who spread disease, right

no-one wants me to unleash the flesh plague onto vornheim
i think i might do it secretly anyway

that's kind of a rising intruiged whimsical laugh
Matt Groves
i mean, i dont want to piss everyone off, so can i do this secretly
and does this mean that everyone in vornheim dies
Jack McNamee
It would become a demon city.

Jack McNamee
actually, you might need to chat with odermagroth (The skin king, lord of the Flesh Plague) himself
cut a deal for your diety
Matt Groves
first of all, flounder and I enter into the meditative prayer of karnopticon.
Jack McNamee
flounder circles around you in the entwined dance of karnopticon prayer

Jack McNamee
you contact the blight queen
your mind is above a massive, ravaging swarm
that is currently unaware of you
Matt Groves
in the gutteral vocabulary of the insect language, i say to her
-
-
-
Jack McNamee
The swarm splits away, moments from consuming you
and just seethes over and around you
-
Jack McNamee
Every bug in the swarm lets out a tiny sound
-
i invoke odermagroth using the lesser name that vick discovered
-
"khkhkhkhkhkhkhsjsjda, I respectfully seek your consul"
Several insects twitch and swarm together
the insects smush together and start bubbling and a long stringy thing starts dripping out
the weird little conjoined mess starts humming around
brushing over the walls and floor
reaches the sealed portal, smooches over it
smooches near flounder, and a spark strikes out
-
finally they swing around to hover at face height, near you.
The long string of flesh droops out to form a dripping mouth, with sunken eye-sockets
"To what...Hnnguhh... do I owe the pleasure?"
-
"Alright, hnguh, a third of the souls, and I'll throw in the rulers and clergy. All except the Popess."
-
-
"but for only a third of the souls, my queen will demand the city."
-
"and she must be allowed to feast on the bodies of the fallen."
I cannot spare a single body!
Dealing ends.
1. The drone of karnopticon, Sebastian True Name, will bring the city under control of the flesh plague
2. Karnopticon will recieve 1 third of all souls consumed by the plague, including the nobles and rulers
-
3. The Skin King will have these districts, and Karnopticon will have the others. Any being under the jurisdiction of Karnopticon will be instantly struck dead and consumed if it crosses the boundary, and the same for the followers of the Skin King. Neutral parties will be allowed to pass freely
Conditions 2 and 3 only come into affect if condition 1 is met.
If any party breaks these rules, his soul will be forfiet to the other party.
4. Followers of Karnopticon will be exempt from the plague.
5. Karnopticon may consume the dead, all except for the skin, which must remain pure and unbroken.
6. The Skin King and karnopticon's servants may both use the farmland, provided that they do not molest each other.

You are the man of the match, and the biggest bastard in the game.
Matt Groves
they'll probably knight me.

Matt Groves
Kl'qi, the little drone who conquered the south
Jack McNamee
You got a good price for your soul.
