Herald of the Blighted March (Prophet)

Among the Pilgrims of the Blighted Devotion, the Herald of the Blighted March walks not at the front, but at the centre — where the afflicted gather closest to the heart of their faith. His flesh bears the same unending disease as his brothers, yet his visions cut deeper than any wound. He is the voice through which the pilgrimage interprets its suffering.
The Herald claims no authority but suffering itself. His cracked loudspeakers, strapped with worn leather and saintly charms, project his hoarse proclamations across the trenches. He speaks not of Armageddon, but of a long, sacred descent: a journey through pain that must be completed so the soul may be proved worthy.
His sermons guide the pilgrimage from battlefield to battlefield. Not by command, but by the weight of belief he carries. To hear him is to feel one’s own wounds echo with purpose, to recognise suffering as a covenant rather than a curse.
Even the dying lean toward his voice, as though it offers not hope, but understanding. His words are not balm, but mirror: they reflect the agony of each pilgrim back upon them, reshaped into a ritual of endurance. In this reflection, despair becomes discipline, and weakness becomes a form of devotion.
The Herald’s presence is both burden and blessing. His body, ravaged by sores and fever, is a living testament to the pilgrimage’s creed. Each step he takes is heavy with contagion, yet the pilgrims press closer, eager to share in the contagion as if it were communion. His disease is no longer his alone; it is the collective inheritance of all who march beside him.
At night, when the trenches fall silent save for the distant thunder of artillery, the Herald whispers prayers that are half lament, half prophecy. He speaks of wounds as gateways, of scars as scripture, of blood as ink upon the parchment of the soul. Those who listen do not expect salvation, but they find a strange clarity: the certainty that their torment is not meaningless, but part of a greater march that stretches beyond death itself.
Thus the Herald of the Blighted March endures, not as a leader, but as a vessel. His voice is the echo of suffering sanctified, his body the altar upon which pain is consecrated. And so the pilgrimage continues, bound together not by hope of deliverance, but by the sacred weight of affliction shared.
