While the orcish god [[Yurtrus]] is antilife, Shargaas simply hates life. He even rails against his own existence, and strikes out at those who make it any more unbearable (often after careful, considered scheming). 'Course, almost everyone fits that description.

Shargaas tries to remain aloof from the eternal battle between the orcs and the goblins, but it's nigh impossible to ignore the demands of [[Gruumsh]]. At the greater power's command, the Night Lord sends forth squadrons of assassins to remove the generals of the goblin army, and then withdraws so far into his realm that not even Gruumsh can contact him for a year and a day.

It's hard to find ''anything'' in the realm, really. The Night Below is a place of near-absolute blackness. Shargaas' petitioners can see just fine, but any berk who doesn't belong finds himself stumbling through the dark, attracting orcs like flies draw spiders.
