Culture and Cultural Heritage
The Orisgale were born from the chaos of the Great Calamity being able to control the flesh of their people. Seeing the chaos on Midgard these people not wanting to be a part of it walled themselves off from the world. Using their flesh, living or dead, they constructed their city Sirkalan. They use their bodies to make their armories and keep themselves safe although they have to leave from time to time to collect bodies so their rot can make the effluvium they need for sustenance.
Common Customs, Traditions and Rituals
- The Orisgale put their dead in special tombs that doubled as armories and supply storehouses, within these storerooms where many supplies the Orisgale used.
- They place the corpses they collect in large lakes to rot and fill the water with effluvium thus turning these Gore pools into primary feeding stations.
Common Taboos
- Leaving Sirkalan was very forbidden as they could be found by the other races of Midgard.
- Conversing with other races was forbidden as it could distract the Orisgale from their own survival.
History
The Orisgale were born from the chaos engulfing the cosmos after the Great Calamity being made from the essence of the architects and chaos itself making a population of 10,000 flesh sculptors on Midgard. These people sought to keep themselves alive and thriving, walling themselves off from the rest of the planet in a fleshy city called Sirkalan. Due to their need for effluvium as sustenance and their people's inability to decay they had to collect the corpses of others who perished in many conflicts using their rot to remain alive. The Orisgale lived in their isolationist society for centuries until Sirkalan was destroyed and each and every orisgale was killed by Odin and his Valkyries. Their flesh and souls were used by their destroyer Odin via high magic to make powerful weapons for a coming conflict although their souls still remained making these weapons sentient and hateful.
