The Slaughter Fields

Divine Planar Realm of Ruthger, God of War

A realm of blasted badlands, Mountain Ranges, wastelands and rocky wastes that stretch out to meet massive oceans where Naval Combat rages on unendingly, The Slaughter Fields are where warriors from all eras and planes come together to participate in unending war. Here, when one of the endless warriors who called the realm home died in one of the realm's countless chaotic battles, he would then rise on the side of the army that defeated him...whereupon it would occur all over again and the cycle continued. In this land, the ground itself, though rocky and lifeless, responded to the tug of a warrior's willpower, allowing all manner of creatures who call the plane home to shape the terrain as they see fit and form battlements and fortresses from the rock itself, given time...a fact which means the tactics here are evolving and adapting unendingly to the always changing terrain.   In addition to the countless creatures who call the realm home, many Titans are said to be native to The Slaughter Fields, given the right to live there by the Wrathmaster himself long ago...and they happily join in the ongoing battles with joy. As the many warriors, knights, soldiers, generals, strategists and barbarians war unendingly here, they always appear in the prime of their lives and in the peak of their physical shape, glowing with health as they seek union with the Wrathmaster through participation in unending combat. As part of this dedication to him and his cause, Ruthger is said to have granted all who reside in the slaughter fields with extraordinary resilience to acid, fire, cold, electricity, force, and sonic damage, as well as regenerative powers. Notably, though this entire realm is considered the realm of the Wrathmaster, he often allows other deities of conflict and war to take residence here and shape it how they wish, for he knows he could easily undo anything they do to his realm.

Geography

The Slaughter Fields are a land made up of mostly arid, rocky badlands, plains, wastelands, and prairies, though some rare forests have been known to exist as well as various canyons, valleys, and mountains...though it's often been said the only reason this singular, titanic battlefield has so much variety in its geography is due to a need for a variety of battlefields so that the followers of The Wrathmaster and all the other Gods who take up residence with their followers in this Plane can fight anywhere they please. There are lakes, streams, and rivers that crisscross the large tracts of land here that eventually feed back into the massive oceans where Naval Combat is waged endlessly among the seafaring followers of the Wrathmaster and other Oceanic Gods.

Fauna & Flora

Not much Flora is known to grow within this Plane outside of the expansive Forests maintained for the purposes of ambush warfare or guerrilla tactics, and outside of these forests are often lifeless, barren wastelands. Within the forests however, one has been known to find several varieties of trees, grass, and flowers...though, most seem designed to be deadly in some manner.   Nothing in the realm of The Wrathmaster can be said to be harmless.

Natural Resources

Though it can be said that the Slaughter Fields lack any natural resources to speak of, that is only mostly inaccurate.   In reality, there are natural resources to be seen in this Plane. There are valuable metals in the ground, great poisons and healing roots within the forests, and all sorts of materials that the natural denizens of this plane can use to form into weapons, tonics, and potions and poisons.   However, the biggest resources in the Slaughter Fields is that of combat and war. Death, violence, and combat is an unending resource here, and it can be said to never run out.
