Yurtrus (Yur-trus)
Overview
Son of Moldros and twin brother of Luthic was the orcish god of death and disease, a constant terror that silently waited for their demise. Followers of Yurtrus believed death was the inevitable fate of all life, and that the ravages of an epidemic were simply death taking victims who had not fallen in battle, allowing orcs to choose what way they would most likely die. Orcs could only forestall the touch of White Hands only by begging for mercy, and as such they were to fear him, but ultimately, it would be of no use. Disease and pestilent doom would come to all, for death always lurked in the shadows of Luthic's caves, and it would certainly strike again.Divine Domains

Physical Description
Body Features
Yurtrus appeared as a vaguely orcish giant, a 12 feet (3.7 meters) tall abomination riddled with rotting flesh and consumed by corruption. His peeling skin glowed green and was covered in oozing pustules and sores, his repulsive form rupturing with every step.
