Kurtulmak

Kurtulmak is a savage deity who teaches the kobolds to defend themselves and assault the unwary by any means necessary, including the traps of which he’s fond. He appears as a particularly massive, green-and-black kobold. He has a particular hatred for gnomes.

Holy Prayers

Many of Kur tul mak’s prayers reference dragons and reptiles, such as “O Watcher, I slither before your scaly majesty."

Holy Rites

Kurtulmak blesses births and honors deaths, but his ceremonies often feature a simulated or actual trap. Kobold youths, for example, contend with the Blessing of the Pit as a rite of passage.

Clergy

Clerical Training

Kurtulmak insists that his clerics train under military discipline, learning doctrines for setting ambushes, building defenses, and otherwise defending the kobold people. The final test for a would-be cleric is to survive a run down a corridor filled with deadly traps.

Temples

Kurtulmak’s temples are claustrophobic warrens bristling with traps, but they often have the accumulated wealth of a kobold community in their treasury.
