Nishrek Nishrek was a fiendish plane in the World Tree cosmology model and later an astral dominion in the World Axis cosmology model . Prior to the discovery of the World Tree , it was Gruumsh ' s realm in Acheron , occupying one face of a gigantic cube ( and then later , the whole cube ) as described by the Great Wheel cosmology model . Nishrek was the last known home of the orc pantheon , which tended to wander or be forced out of various previous homes . Description . Nishrek was once just the name of Gruumsh ' s realm , stuck to the side of a moon - sized cube floating in the air of Acheron . As new cosmologies were invented to explain what planar travelers discovered , the name followed Gruumsh to new realms and became synonymous with the plane he dominated . Endless war was a constant across all cosmological models , made possible by the positive - dominant feature of this plane — all those who died in battle were raised at sunset to fight again the next night . Great Wheel Model . As a realm in Acheron , Nishrek was a square , flat , barren plain broken only by trenches dug for defense , conical pits and mountains , perhaps a segment of the River Styx , and the occasional iron citadel , which the orcs and other evil races merely occupied until the tide of battle pushed or pulled them elsewhere . The main conflicts were between the orcs and the goblin s , but there was plenty of inter - tribe squabbling as well . World Tree Model . When the World Tree cosmology supplanted the Great Wheel model , Nishrek became its own plane , which the orcs had all to themselves , but without much improvement in the environment , although there was at least a sea and some hills . It was an immeasurable plane with battlements , entrenchments , and fortresses , contested over nightly by petitioners who healed quickly and even regenerated lost limbs . If they fell in battle , they received a " true resurrection " at the next sunset and joined the battle again . Each tribe vied for the favor of Gruumsh , whom they believed would someday declare a winner and thereby raise the status of their tribe above all others . World Axis Model . When the Spellplague caused Nishrek to be cast adrift upon the Astral Sea , it changed from being a practically limitless plain to a finite dominion with a more varied landscape — dense forests , broiling deserts , flinty badlands , murky rivers and foreboding seas — all bearing the ravages of constant war . Like Warrior ' s Rest , this plane tallied untold deaths but no losses , as each combatant rose to fight again and again . Inhabitants . The only creatures tenacious enough to call Nishrek home were swarms of hellwasps , which could ruin the best - laid battle plans very quickly . Rust dragon s were also seen on this plane , as well as styx dragon s where the River of Blood ran its course . Orc and half - orc ( including orog and tanarukk ) petitioners made up the vast majority of the population , organized by tribe and faction . After the Spellplague , ogres and troll s saw Nishrek in the afterlife , when Vaprak became an exarch of Gruumsh .

Aearee crops were blighted , and the aearee suffered the Wasting Plague . The Aearee - Quor were decimated , and many of them began worshiping the demon lord Pazrael to seek salvation . Finally , around −30000 DR , dragon s all over Faerûn gathered in the first Flight of Dragons to assault the aearee in the sky , on land , and underground . The Aearee Empires fell , as Viakoo was burned from the air and Shara was conquered by the dragon - general Nagamat . Legacy . Many thousands of years later , Captain Eartharran Neirdre of Evermeet sought a lost city of the creator races and discovered a floating city off the northern coast of Anchorome . It contained statues of the inhabitants , and Eartharran named the race " aearee " . However , dragons assaulted and destroyed Eartharran ' s flying ship , which crashed on an island north of where Fort Flame later stood .

The aearee created or were the ancestors of the following races and creatures : Nations . The three Aearee Empires established their capitals in the following locales : Description . According to Captain Eartharran Neirdre ' s sketches of statues found in a reputedly aearee city , the aearee were a humanoid race with both avian and draconic features , including both feathers and scales .
