Kerh Tam

Care-Tahm

"The Trickster"

Divine Domains

Kerh Tam is associated with forests, earth, stones, and autumn. It is considered a powerful spirit of nature, and something of a trickster spirit. Druids of Northern Aisoa count Kerh Tam as part of their pantheon, while most city dwelling folk pay it little attention.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

Kerh Tam is a trickster nature spirit, and its goals generally align with the protection of the forests of Northern Aisoa. It has both protected travelers that revere nature, as well as sown discord - especially among loggers and miners.   Kerh Tam is unable to act directly, and interacts with the world through visions and distorting nature. Its allies find themselves happening upon easy trails and good weather, while its enemies constantly run into hazards and danger. It communicates with visions and feelings - false visions delude the greedy into delving into dangerous caverns, or to chase after false treasure.   It is said that Kerh Tam can read mortal's souls. It rarely appears to those searching for it, and most often appears to those who have never even heard of it.

Physical Description

Identifying Characteristics

Kerh Tam appears as a large boulder in a variety of appearances. Stories tell of it appearing as an entirely mundane stone, a glossy mirror like geometric obelisk, and a stone covered in ancient druidic runes. It seems to specifically take forms to be unrecognizable to whoever is viewing it - though when people describe the strange stone they discovered, they always use the same phrases. As such, most people are not aware they have seen Kerh Tam until long after.
