Worship Erlik as our Patron God

Erlik was the lord of the underworld in Turkic and Altai belief, who sent sickness and death to humankind through his spirits. Traditionally people feared him and, especially among the Altai, offered animal sacrifices when illness struck; those who did not were said to have their dead taken as his slaves.

Shamans who venerated him were called black shamans, and their practice was generally frowned upon, since they bargained with demonic spirits.
