Dikastís, the Judge is the Theosi Lord of the Underworld and the Adjudicator of Souls. Dikastís determines which souls have committed sufficient evilness to be confined to the Underdark ream called Kólasi. He is considered to be the patron of justice, judges, law enforcement, and punishment.
Dikastís presides in Kólasi, the Underworld, which is depicted as a cold, gloomy, cavernous place – not icy, but dank, damp, and cold. It is a home for troubled souls, those whose ill deeds condemn them to punishment and penance before being allowed to reincarnate. At his side sits his wife, Éleos, the goddess of Mercy, who seeks to temper her husband’s judgements.
Their three children also have their own roles in the Kólasi. Fylakí, the Warden, is the jailer for the prison of souls, the God who oversees the torments inflicted on evil-doers who are punished until they are allowed to return to the earth to “try again” in another life. Thánatos the Undying is the god of the Undead: the animated bodies of the dead, like zombies and skeletons; the troubled spirits who have not passed over, like ghosts and poltergeists; and those like vampires and liches who have achieved everlasting life through undying death. And Prodosía is the goddess of the creatures of the Underdark, ruling the intelligent and unintelligent creatures who dwell beneath the surface: orcs and ogres and carrion crawlers, among others.
