Oinos/Fleshslough

Yurtrus frightens even Gruumsh, for the intermediate power is nothing more than the denial of life and existence. Sure, Gruumsh could probably kill White-Hands if he so desired, but chant is he's afraid to get that close. Yurtrus has no mouth and never speaks, and sends plagues and disease as he will, capriciously. Orcs worship him only because they fear to anger him.

Almost nothing is known of Yurtrus or his realm, which is commonly called Fleshslough. That's because anyone who enters the realm never leaves, not even avatars sent by other powers. The entrance to the place is two great black-iron doors set into a forbidding hillside in Oinos; the stench of death wafts out every time the doors swing open.
