Ty Kora Tek<br />

Keeper <strong>of</strong> the Dead<br />

Ty Kora Tek is one <strong>of</strong> the most powerful Goddesses <strong>of</strong><br />

the Underworld. During the Gods War, she protected<br />

and sheltered the souls <strong>of</strong> the dead in her vast Caverns <strong>of</strong><br />

Silence, but once in her grasp, they cannot leave. She kept<br />

everything lost during that hideous time safe and hidden<br />

until Ernalda brought her sister to her. At the Dawn, Ty<br />

Kora Tek gave all that she had taken so that the world<br />

could be filled with good things once more.<br />

Her worshippers prepare the dead for burial, tend to<br />

the graveyards and ensure that the dead do not trouble<br />

the living. Ty Kora Tek’s worship is uncommon but<br />

widespread. She is depicted as a gaunt and wasted<br />

goddess or as a cracked and empty pot. Her worshippers<br />

sacrifice black cows, black ewes and black chickens. Her<br />

temples are relatively rare, and are usually just shrines<br />

in larger temples to other Earth goddesses. One <strong>of</strong> her<br />

largest temples is found at the Necropolis, in Esrolia,<br />

which is a known entrance to the Underworld guarded by<br />

her cult. Her shrines teach Bless Grave.<br />
