===Heresa Heri, The Vulture King===
Darklord of Tsuu-Y-Teke. Long ago, Heresa Heri was one of the great animal lords, powerful spirits subordinate to the greater animal gods, but he betrayed his master's wishes after being named ruler over the skies: when given the ability to create permanent light from enchanted crystals, rather than sharing this light with the world, he selfishly kept them for himself, turning them into a shining feathered headdress. But his treachery was uncovered by a human hero-shaman named Kanaciwe, who captured Heresa Heri and tore out the golden and silver feathers, turning them into the sun, moon and stars. But the appearance of the sun dazed Kanaciwe, allowing Heresa Heri to break free of the shaman's grip and kill him.

This act enraged his rival, the newly empowered Haloe-Tsuu (Sun Puma), who cursed Heresa Heri; never again would he be allowed to face the sunlight, or else it would destroy him. Though the Vulture King fled into the deepest cave, he was mortally wounded, and summoned his underlings to ceremonially preserve his body and spirit. As he died, he cursed all those who had robbed him of "his" treasure, from the humans whose shaman had taken his headdress of shining light to the skies themselves for being home to the sun and moon. Thus was the domain of Tsuu-Y-Teke born.

In appearance, the Vulture King is a white-feathered giant vulture with a dark red bonnet of dried blood on his head, sickly yellow eyes that glow in the dark, and a jagged, uneven beak that gives him the appearance of fanged teeth. He is an [[undead]] creature with powers similar to those of a [[mummy]], althoug he looks like a living bird.

As Darklord, Heresa Heri is trapped in his cavern lair except during True Night, the one period of darkness that comes to Tsuu-Y-Teke once per month. He has become obsessed with the idea that if he can amass a sufficient number of gems, he can reimprison the light and restore the endless Night that the world once knew... but he knows that to do so, he needs the ''exact'' number of gems as there are stars in the sky, and he no longer remembers how many that is!

In combat, Heresa Heri is a powerhouse and all but impossible to destroy without the use of sunlight or powerful magical light. Even then, if destroyed, his spirit will possess any giant vulture within a 13 mile radius, which will transform into the Vulture King 1 week later.

When the Vulture King seeks to seal Tsuu-Y-Teke, then impenetrable magical darkness gathers on the borders; those who try to escape instead get lost in the utter blackness and stumble right back out into the domain.
