The Glow Sicks are Orcish mages; they decay organic matter, causing rapid growth of nutrient-dense fungus. They are also blessed with the means to turn sapient creatures and plants into more slaves to the Horde. They lack direct combat ability but are the backbone of maintaining the Horde. They are easily identified by the collection of masks they wear upon their bodies, wearing their own mask and carrying those whose footsteps they follow. Those from the longest lines wear full suits of masks like armor.  

Glow Sicks cause the rapid decay of organic matter with ritualistic magic. They infuse the now-decaying matter with magically enhanced spores, which cause the growth of heavy, nutrient-dense bricks of fungus. They keep the Horde fed, turning entire forests, pastures, and food too ripe for consumption into fresh provisions. Glow Sicks can infuse in a living creature the blessings of Haltheris, turning them into members of the Horde.  

 The Glow Sicks are less ordered, and prospects are collected and raised and trained from birth in Glow Sick colonies, where full members will choose children to raise and teach. There are no strict orders.
