Saarkaath is a cold Island of Terror that is covered with mountains and forests on the surface and filled with networks of tunnels underground. The domain is populated solely by half-orcs, though there are effectively two separate civilizations in the domain. Beneath the surface, a militaristic despotism rules, with the more "orcish" half-orcs enslaving the more "human" ones. Above ground, there are villages scattered around consisting of those who escaped the underground and their descendants. The more human-like ones rank higher in society than the orcish ones, and only the most human-like half-orcs can join the priesthood. The surface dwellers believe themselves to be cursed by dark gods, and this curse can only be reversed by human(oid) sacrifice. [5]

The darklord of Saarkath is Hakaan na Uruk.[3]
