About this ancestry

Cursed by a variety of means to walk the mortal plane. Unable to die by natural means, but they physically resemble the rot that affects their soul.

Inspired by ghouls from the Fallout series. Came up with this ancestry before the transformation cards, but adding it to this after the transformation cards lol.
