It is the Plaguebearers' role to keep stock of new diseases and symptoms inflicted by the worshippers of
Nurgle. The
Daemons' obsessive need to organise is characterised by their constant counting as they try to calculate every new outbreak of plague. This monotonous chanting achieves little, for it is practically impossible to catalogue anything amidst the ever-changing nature of
Chaos. This in no way discourages the Plaguebearers, for they are the embodiment of the need to impose order upon the universe.
