Fleshslough was the divine realm of Yurtrus, the orc deity of death and disease.[1]
Geography[]
In the Great Wheel cosmology, Fleshslough was located inside of a hill in Oinos in Hades. Practically nothing was known about the realm's geography. This was due to a lack of reports about it, because nobody—including avatars—ever returned from the realm after entering it.[1]
In the World Tree cosmology, Fleshslough was located on the plane of Nishrek on a big hill.[2]
Government[]
Yurtrus ruled the realm.[1][2]
Rumors & Legends[]
Orcish petitioners of Nishrek told among themselves that orcs with poor fighting skills were stripped of their flesh in Fleshslough. This was a fearsome prospect for them because on Nishrek, people who died in battle were revived, so being stripped of flesh was the closest thing to true death there.[3]
Notable Locations[]
The entry into Fleshslough was marked by a big door made of iron. Every time this door opened, the stink of death came out of the realm.[1]
