Ashkaru-Namtar

Adjudicator of the First Descent

The least of Taltos the Deepdweller's Seven Courtiers of the Abyssal Court, yet still far beyond mortal comprehension, Ashkaru-Namtar governs judgment of worth and survival. He is said to appear as a robed figure of black water with a featureless face, his form constantly eroding and reforming, as though exploring and recreating its own stability. He is associated with the great white shark, whose cold, instinctive judgment separates the living from the dead without hesitation or malice.
