The Yeenoghus Spittoon is a 3500' diameter, 1700' deep hole of Skycius. In the First Epoch, having learned from Pellangoth's goblins of easy plunder, a Gnoll tribe came west through the Pass of Rungalur then to edges of this great hole. They came like others, preying upon the riches moving about in the deeps below. They attacked the merchant traffic moving to and from Gaereaus and sometimes even brazenly attacked the confederation's major holdings. The gnolls built Kugirmuk on the northern side, using ropes, and later paths and roads to reach the shores of the Heliotrope Sea where they raided and plundered.

The gnolls of Skycius and Zyrath were for a long time, an ignorant people, bestial in their ways. Those that settled at Yeenoghus Spittoon were ignorant of the fact that it was the work of the demon lord they worshiped. This demon lord, Yeenoghu, preferred to keep it that way. He was embarrassed as to what happened here, an entire army crushed by an undermining effort against Achamâz; this was during the Demon Spawn War (8972 GE - 9493 GE), when Achamâz was a bastion of good, a place of healing for the Covenant.

At the bottom of this hole is the village of Phure-Zil and the southern shores of the Heliotrope Sea.
