	~~Like all Eldritch Gods~~, it is ~~not clear what draws Ygorl's attention~~ to ~~a [[Mortal]]~~ to ~~create an Orison~~.		Cultic rituals emphasize preservation through decay. Objects, corpses, and living bodies are submerged in rot to “fix” memories in scent. The result is accelerated memory loss. Notable Orisons include:

			* Havren of the Delta: Human, Man, Acrolon, Shattered Age, Dead. Archivist who attempted to catalogue oral histories through scent. He died unable to remember his own name.
			* Ledira Moss-Born: Elf, Woman, Dark Age, Dead. A refugee healer who used herbs to trigger memory in trauma victims. She succumbed during the Dark Age incursion and never recognized her people again.

	~~Ygorl {{lang\|Nortongue\|ɪɡˈɔrəl\|\ɪɡˈɔrəl\\|world eater}}, also known as ''~~The ~~Ruinous Muse'', is named for its deathly appearance and association with emotional corruption. Like all~~ [[~~Eldritch Gods~~]], ~~lore about Ygorl is exceptionally rare and incomplete. The lore comes primarily from scholars who have studied~~ the ~~[[Obyrith]]~~ and ~~[[Eldritch Orisons]]. It is~~ the ~~God~~ of the ~~[[Slaad]]~~.		=History=

			==Shattered Age==

			The Rot That Remembers emerged during the [[Shattered Age]], contemporaneous with the collapse of the Orrery and the birth of the other Eldritch Gods.

	=~~History~~=		==Dark Age==

	~~Ygorl, like all Eldritch Gods, is considered to be among~~ the ~~oldest~~ [[~~Strange Gods~~]]~~. Ygorl appeared in~~ the ~~universe during~~ [[~~The Shattering~~]].		During the [[Dark Age]], Ygorl’s influence spread through the southern river deltas of [[Norhome]]. Entire settlements succumbed to memory collapse without violence or visible mutation. Victims wandered aimlessly, unable to recall names, relationships, or purpose. The incursion ended without clear resolution; the land itself was abandoned.

	=Description=		=Description=

	~~Ygorl~~ appears as a ~~towering~~, ~~pale, emaciated frog~~-~~like humanoid. Its~~ wide ~~head has a gaping~~, ~~toothless~~ mouth. ~~Its eyes are deep sockets~~ that ~~glow yellow from deep within~~. Its ~~arms are too long~~, and ~~its fingers long and bony~~.		==Anthropomorphic Form==

			Ygorl’s anthropomorphic form appears as a three-meter-tall humanoid with amphibian features: slick, mucus-coated skin; wide, unblinking eyes; and an enormous, slack mouth that hangs open without sound. The air around this form carries layered scents that shift constantly, evoking deeply personal memories in nearby observers.

			==Surreal Form==

			In its surreal form, Ygorl manifests as a colossal, bloated amphibian mass, partially submerged in marshland. Its ruptured flesh vents scented vapors rather than blood. These mists drift independently, carrying the smells of homes, loved ones, meals, funerals, and lost places. The creature’s vast nostrils pulse as if inhaling memory itself.

	=Personality=		=Personality=

	Ygorl~~, like~~ all Eldritch Gods, ~~cannot be said to have a coherent personality~~. Its ~~only discernable motivation seems~~ to ~~be an obsession with scent and memory~~.		The Rot That Remembers embodies the Strange Epiphany of smell, specifically the intimate link between scent, memory, and identity. Integral scholars emphasize that this does not imply curiosity or intent. Rather, Ygorl appears to experience reality through associative recall alone.

			Like all Eldritch Gods, the Rot That Remembers does not display recognizable psychology. Its behavior is inscrutable and inconsistent, offering no evidence of intention, desire, or awareness. Integral scholars increasingly caution against assuming consciousness at all, suggesting that Soma may function as a masked phenomenon rather than an agent, analogous to a Chinese Room executing a process without understanding.
