K'rul was an Elder God of the Malazan world, also called the Maker of Paths. Long before humans had erected stone settlements, he had been worshipped by hunters with sacrifices of 'blood and split bones'. But at the time of Gardens of the Moon he had few, if any, followers. His aspect was the Obelisk. K'rul first appeared hooded and was described as having long, sinuous fingers. He dressed in rags, was of average height, and had blunt and unprepossessing features.
