Stone Gods

The Stone Gods, or Kurk, Luk, Nammu, Hamak, and Sullt, are the old gods of duagar. The Stone Gods date back to the time before the duagar surfaced in Askriga. Duagan tradition holds that they were the rulers of the old duagan realm of Gallanheim where they are still believed to live. They represent tradition as opposed to the new duagan gods, who are led by Thaugand, the god of progress.

As Gallanheim was located below the reach of the Akasha System, these old duagan gods bear little to no resemblance to the Theilic deities. After the Emergence of Duagar, the effect of the Akasha and interactions with the human population of Theilon created a new duagan pantheon almost identical to the midland human one. Duagan mythos reconciliated this theological change by explaining that the Stone Gods chose to remain in Gallanheim, but gave the daughter of Kurk and Nammu, Maggda the Stone Mother, to new chief god Thaugand as a wife.

In modern duagan religion, the Stone Gods are mainly revered as house gods, having no official temples or clergy. The individual roles of the group have been fused into one: that of gods of earth, tradition, and death. They are the Keepers of Bones, who collect the bones of the buried duagar in order to strengthen the structures of the earth.
