Kurtulmak

Kurtulmak (Pronounced: KUR-tul-mak), also known as The Horned Sorcerer, The Steelscale, The Stingtail and The Watcher, is the patron deity of the kobolds, and they claim he gave them life.

Dogma
Kurtulmak teaches that notions of "fair play" are for fools. It is better, for say the kobolds, to flee and live to fight again than to die for the sake of "bravery." No fight is over as long as one kobold lives who can plot revenge. Revenge is a dish that tastes as sweet cold as it does hot. Quick wit and clever traps are more effective than brute strength.

Prayers to Kurtulmak have a rhythmic quality to them that can easily be recited while swinging a pickaxe. Prayers can also take the form of battle cries and promises of revenge. "By the point of Kurtulmak's spear and the tip of his poisonous tail, I will see every member of your family perish."

Temples
Kurtulmak is worshiped at the crescent moon in cave temples. His temples are carved out of earth and used to house adepts, clerics, and the tribes's most valuable treasures. These temples are protected with small, twisting tunnels and a staggering array of deadly traps.

Holy Days
Kurtulmak's holiest times are the nights of the crescent moon.
