Jirna's primary domain encompasses all facets of rot, decay, and organic degradation. This influence extends across a wide range of natural processes, including the decomposition of animal and plant matter and the proliferation of fungi, mold, and mildew. Furthermore, Jirna governs the fermentation of organic materials, the spoiling of food, the progression of infected, festering wounds, and the structural weakening of wood and other organic building materials. Jirna regulates both the acceleration and retardation of these processes. | Jirna's primary domain encompasses all facets of rot, decay, and organic degradation.
