Son of Eshik and Feath Magdaia, Kuma is the god of the subterranean waters. He is an ancient god worshiped in ancient Shelekhumbia and Hœrnect. His aspects are liminal between the Sea Gods and the Earth Gods. Some ascribe to him dominion as the ruler over the original waters of creation, although he does not directly personify them.

The god Kuma is often depicted as the guardian of the Waters of Chaos and he both prevents them from destroying the earth and also is the gateway to access them. In myth, he fights and subdues the forces of chaos, thus enabling the stability which is fundamental to civilization. He is also guardian of ancient secrets too arcane and incomprehensible to the human mind. He is also a god of fertility, especially by means of flooding or irrigation for agriculture.

The subterranean Sea of Esgarga is considered subject to his dominion.
