Statues

Have a look through the SacredWiki Map to find out where her statues are located.
- She also has a statue in each of the many Temples of the Gods scattered throughout Ancaria.
Her Followers
Ker is the Goddess of the dark entities of Ancaria. Most of the evil mages and summoners choose her as their Goddess. The Inquisition respects her as well. While no specific region officially claims to esteem her, the cults of her followers appear in various parts of Ancaria. The traveller may encounter one of these cults in the Noriath Temple during the completion of the Purification of the Temple side quest. The shrine dedicated to Ker can also be found in Artamark near the Kufferath Castle.
Ker Priests also take part in many mysterious and dark deeds that happen in the world of Ancaria. Some of the adventurers can meet Ker Priest Gordani, who is plotting against the Seraphim Priestesses and even take part in his plans.
