However, I kinda like the rotting zombie thing, so: clearly swamps
Shamans of swamp tribes (like ducks) presumably contact the swamp
are magically capable of making things rot. Think about it -- even
creatures that don't normally live in swamps rot. For instance,
humans who try to live in a swamp get fungus infections, and these go
away when the human leaves the swamp for a while.
spirits to get protection from the rot.
Remember that while phenomena like fungus infections happen in
Glorantha, they have magical rather than physical explanations.
