Røth

Reputedly the location of ork first contact with Splinter fleet Baphomet. While Imperial scholars have never been able to confirm the exact coordinates of this historic stronghold, ork oral history marks it as 'the place where fighting is best'. Some scholars argue that this describes an orkish paradise of sorts; but most agree that Røth (in orkish, Oddgitkul) is a concrete location.

Despite the desperate need of innumerable ork warbands to find the area, it seems that veteran orks keep the location secret even from other greenskins, to ensure 'dat only da killiest orkses find da best killin' grounds'. The planets in the area are reputed to host battlegrounds inimical to all but the very toughest orks; and so almost all orks seek to find it to demonstrate their toughness and worthiness to Gork and Mork.

The Warseers of the Craftworld Wspuruth are believed to have spoken of the 'Death of Worlds'; and details of this ancient prophecy show distinct similarities with the semi-mythical Røth. Whether genuine or legendary, the area is probably best left well alone.
