Demon Fortress.
This place was located at a relatively barren level. Even though there weren't many resources here, there were still many Demons and Dark Creatures.
This piece of land didn't have much use value. As such, there weren't any Gods who visited this place. Thus, this place was filled with powerful forces. There wasn't a situation where the Dark Elves ruled this place like the Underdark.
Thus, this place was filled with powerful forces. Countless races opened up new territories here. Among them, the number of Beastmen and Half-Beastmen was especially shocking. It was even comparable to all the Demons and Dark Creatures in this level.
The reason why there were so many Beastmen and Half-Beastmen living here was because it was rumored that this place was once ruled by the Cyclops, Gewushi.

The God of Beastmen, Gewushi, belonged to the Chaotic Evil Alignment. His appearance looked like a Beastman wearing heavy and crude black full-body armor. He only had a single eye in the center of his face that was always open. It was said that a God had stolen one of his eyes. Some priests also believed that the God of Elves wouldn't be defeated. Some believers believed that the God of Elves had stolen the eye because it was impossible for him to defeat Gewushi in a fair battle.
Doctrine:
Gewushi required his believers to do their best to pursue great power. He believed that the world should be one where the strong preyed on the weak. He tacitly allowed his believers to choose the weakest person from their own tribe and take away the weak's territory and everything according to the so-called "Gewushi's will". He didn't care about the isolation and unfriendliness of his subjects, which was the Beastman society. He didn't care if they were united or not. Constant war was one of Gewushi's creeds. Of course, Gewushi didn't oppose colonizing an area when the situation allowed.
Gewushi didn't like any non-Beastman intelligent creatures and the things they created. He especially hated the Elves (perhaps because of his eyes). He also hated the Dwarves who fought with the Beastmen for the control of the mountains and won. A social organization loyal to Gewushi, such as a Beastman tribe, had to strictly identify their enemies according to Gewushi's will. For example, the two aforementioned.
Clergy and shrines:
Their ultimate goal was to become the war leader of their own Orc tribe, or the war strategist of those leaders. They also had to go through the process of "eliminating the bad elements" in the Orc tribe. Even during normal times, the priests of Guwsh had to wear armor.
Gewushen's temple or shrine was usually located in the core of an orc's residential area. They were usually in a harsh environment, filled with pungent smoke and stinking blood that was unbearable. Shrines, or larger shrines, always kept altars for living sacrifices, and arenas large enough for many to compete in.
This was a mysterious and powerful god. It was the guardian god of all half-orcs and half-orcs. Even if it was in the evil camp, it was only against enemies and outsiders. As for its own people, Gewushen was patient enough.
When it existed, there were figures of orcs and half-orcs on the bloody battlefield of the abyss. However, such a powerful god had fallen in the end.
There were many rumors about its fall. Some rumors were that its arrogance and arrogance had led some gods to encircle and annihilate it. After paying the price of countless god's blood and even the fall of some gods, it was only then that it was pulled down from the altar.
Some rumors were about the god of elves using the curse of stealing the eye to cause Gewushen's fall.
Among them, the most convincing rumor was that Gewushen had suffered revenge because he had swallowed the offspring of the Nightmare Serpent, and both of them had died together.
The Nightmare Serpent … Dendel was born in the first nightmare. Before dawn, there were always countless horrible and evil nightmares that she had swallowed. She seemed to especially like nightmares, especially those of kings and gods. What was even more horrifying was that if Dendel felt that her insatiable appetite was not satisfied, all existences, whether mortals or gods, would remember the painful details of their every nightmare. According to speculation, she would become the omen of the end of the world, and even the gods would not be spared.
Although the Nightmare Serpent could freely travel through the Wasteland of Destruction and Despair or any lower plane, she stayed in her lair most of the time.
The Soft Mud River!
Dendel's huge lair was near the Soft Mud River. When Dendel slept and contentedly ate the forgotten nightmares of this world, the hissing sound she made resounded through the entire Hazy Domain.
Anyone who approached Dendel's lair would find that she was awake and waiting for them with the joy of foresight, because she would taste and recall the worst nightmares that they had long forgotten. Dendel's cave-like stomach could accommodate a giant, and her tongue only needed to touch it lightly to send a giant dragon flying.
Slippery saliva flowed under her tongue and formed a pool of filthy mud, mixed with half-eaten bones. These were the remnants of her daily dream eating.
Gewushen liked to invade, and it believed that there was no end to the realm. Only by constantly killing and fighting could one obtain true power and seek one's true self.
Therefore, in a certain history, Gewushen broke into the territory of the Nightmare Serpent, and it devoured its offspring. This made the monster that was born in the early stages of the abyss angry, and both sides fought to the end and fell.
From then on, the two legendary gods never appeared in the eyes of the world again.
Since then, there was no Gewushen in this plane, and the orcs and half-orcs fell off the altar, and had no choice but to submit to some other gods and live in fear. For example, the cat people believed in the cat and dance goddess, and some of the more aggressive jackals and lizardmen followed the lead of Malar [God of the Hunt] or the God of Slaughter.
But no matter what, there were still countless orcs and half-orcs living in this plane. There were also some powerful orcs and half-orcs in this plane, but those races had competitive bloodlines. Just over a year ago, there was an unfamiliar lord here. A half-orc race that had never appeared before defeated the beholder and occupied this land.
And that legendary demon lord was Phra, a master of fist techniques born from the cat people!
