Underworld Creatures Creatures

Underworld creatures are chthonic beings tied to caves, barrows, mines, river crossings, and the paths of the dead. They guard thresholds, test vows, escort souls, and judge or avenge wrongs that disturb order. Roles include sentinel, psychopomp, purifer, and challenger who demands courage and truth. Symbols feature keys and scales, torches and coins, knots and cords, boundary stakes, and night processions between gates. Use tiles to browse by subterranean setting, function, or motif such as passage, doom, remembrance, and rebirth. Cards provide sources, transliterations, iconography, and concise notes on funerary customs, oath keeping, and rites of protection below the earth.
