Ku

== Summary ==
Ku, the Epicenter of Deepspeak, is the metaphysical center of the ocean and the source from which all deepspeak in the world flows forth. It is this holy site that regulates the tidal forces of the moon and sun as well as produces the gyres and currents that flow throughout the Great Ocean. It is a sacred place for all those who worship the God of Oceans, Klaarungraxus.
== Holy Site ==
=== Physical Description ===
The altar of Ku sits at the bottom of a deep undersea sump, a sunken, compacted portion of Galbar's surface forced downwards to make room for Klaarungraxus' incredible mass. At the base of this multiple kilometer wide crater lies the oily, black, basalt altar formed by Klaar at the creation of Ku. The altar's make is highly simple, a rectangular prism with partially smoothed and chipped edges sitting on a plinth of raised rock. The stone, at times, radiates bright light from its core at random intervals. Beyond that, the face of Ku is roughly hewn to a smooth texture.
=== Consecrated Titles ===
==== Thalassophon II ====
Ku, as the epicenter of the natural Deepspeak of the world, is the center of all tidal forces, ocean currents, oceanic weather, and undersea geological shifts. Due to its nature as the center of Deepspeak, all oceanic telluric energies radiate into and then outward from Ku, making it an ideal place for Telluric sorcery and the heart of the growing Leyline skein. 
==== Pelagonoia II ====
The nascent center of Deepspeak acts in strange ways, altering the forms of those organisms that reside on its cyclical area of of effect. Greater proximity has a powerful effect on mortal life, altering them physically to be more adapted to life at sea; growth of gills, fins, and coloration changes are most common though more radical transformations are known to occur. Farther from Ku, where tides and currents take its energies, people living on the sea find themselves better swimmers, deeper divers, and greater fishermen from its effects.
=== Religious Significance ===
At the time of its creation and early during the Primordial Age, Ku held a reverent place only within the hearts and minds of the Vrool. It was the center of the ocean's natural chant and as such served as the central place of worship for the vrool when communing with their creator-deity.
