Holy Books & Codes
There is only one "Tomb of the Dead" and it can not be copied or reproduced. This sacred tomb was not written by KarKoffus, instead it was created by his followers and Clerics during thousands of years meddling within the realms of death and decay. The Book contains various passages that can raise the dead, deliver immortal life and even summon entities from places unknown even by the God's. The Book of KarKoffus is perhaps one of the most powerful items in all of Cruul and its location is unknown to all mortal souls.

Tenets of Faith
Those who worship KarKoffus do so against his will. Therefore any Tenets of this path were created by unlawful followers not the God himself. These forbidden Tenets are an offense to all natural order of the Material Realm.
- Steal death so you may never die.
- Raise death so you may live forever.
- Run forever from Death eternal, no matter the test, no matter the hurtle.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
KarKoffus has no concern for the living Mortals who do not seek to abuse his power, but he does hold hatred for those who dare try to exploit it. His goal is to Lord forever over the rotting souls of those who find their way to his eternal domain of decaying damnation. One day all life will be dead...time to gather the living is finite and fleeting.
