The Zagresh-worshiping✝ Defiled Corpse tribe is one of the most dangerous orc tribes in the Hold of Belkzen. They delight in torturing captives, but they often torture themselves as a sign of endurance and devotion which results in their horrifying appearance. The tribe is feared and reviled even by other orc tribes.

History

The tribe first formed in the Tusk Mountains before being driven from them by the red dragons Tyrkalis and Sheblis in 4682 AR. The orcs wandered until stumbling upon the Cenotaph, a mesmerizing black tower that issued a dream vision to the tribe's shaman at camp purportedly from the orc demigod Zagresh the Destroyer. In the vision Zagresh claimed the Defiled Corpse tribe's members were his chosen people, and in response they dedicated themselves to him by engaging in acts of cruelty, debauchery, and cannibalism.

Leadership

The tribe is led by Bugark Zomash, an antipaladin of Zagresh.

Ungukk Fleshdredge, the tribe's even more powerful shaman as of 4715 AR, created a two-headed flesh golem called the Carcass Man of Belkzen.
