==== Character background ====
The goddess of the underworld, Erlik, is the female Pluto believed in by the Tengger Order of Immortality, and is also the goddess of death and plague. The blue and black sacred cow is the symbol of this goddess. In the classics of the Tengger Order, she It is comparable to the divine power of Uligen, the Lord of White. Together, the two created the world in which humans live. Buddhism calls it Dharma Protector Yama.
The underworld ruled by Erlik Khan is located in the west, beginning with a crack in the earth that serves as the gateway to it. According to some ideas, the world consisted of nine or several layers, on which the descendants of the goddess Erlik lived. All descendants of Erlik are respected, their names are known, and sacrifices are made to them.
The lower world ruled by Erlik also has a sun and a moon, but the light is weak, so there is eternal dusk there. At the entrance to Hades is a black stump with a pot of boiling water inside. There are vast swamps, lakes filled with people's tears, red lakes formed from the blood of those killed or accidentally cut, and suicides. Next is a bottomless black lake with a bridge made of a single horse hair. Behind the black lake is the area of dead ancestors. Beyond the underworld habitat of their deceased ancestors, live the Daughters of Erlik. Erlik herself lives in a large yurt here, with a horse-tethering post next to it.
Erlik lived in a palace built of black mud or blue (black) iron, on the banks of the Toibodim River, built of human tears, with a bridge made of a single horse hair. He is guarded by the monster - dutpa. In the palace stood guards - Erlik's servants (elchi), who held hooks (karmak) in their hands.
In the classics handed down by the shamans of the Tengger Order, people received a priceless gift from this goddess - art that penetrated into other worlds. The first shaman accepted the tambourine as a gift from the goddess Erlik.
Erlik created animals: bears, badgers, moles, camels, pigs, cows, ghosts, and the Upelli vampires who live on blood and other strange creatures. She disliked her sister Uligan Tengri. The grassland plains created by Khan were too boring, and she also created mountains such as the Altai Mountains. Legend has it that she moved all the mammoths to the underworld where she lived.
