K'urieri, also a lesser deity like Mortagra, is a being who greets individuals after they die, and also is responsible for instilling consciousness into all living things. They guide the souls into and out of what is called the ''Didi Sulisili'', or the Great Nothingness in Staynish. The ''Didi Sulisili'' is described in the Ts'igna'reli as "the place where all things originate, and where all things end." The Ts'ignabi'neli elaborates further, describing the ''Didi Sulisili'' as "The deepest and simplest form of being; Ver extracts the souls yet to live, giving them to K'urieri to do Ver's bidding. K'oh infuses those who have lived, collecting them from K'urieri after their life on ''Uzenaesi'qaro'' is over."

Verk'ohism believes that the three realms of ''Q’vela'' (directly translated to "All"), ''Didi Sulisili'', and ''Sisulelis Spero'' (translated to "Realm of Nonsense") are uncreated and eternal realms in which the three deities were manifested, Ver to ''Q'vela'', K'oh to ''Didi Sulisili'', and Gizhuri to ''Sisulelis Spero''. Originally, the two realms of Q'vela and Didi Sulisili were both empty realms consisting of just Ver and K'oh, until, as stated in the Ts'ignabi'neli, "Ver extracted corporeality itself from the realms, and created the first worlds, most principal of which ours, ''Uzenaesi'qaro''. Ver extracted from K'oh the first souls and brought them to Uzenaesi'qaro, and while doing so echoed into existence K'urieri, who would continue collecting souls for Uzenaesi'qaro. The souls attached themselves to the urth, the sky, and the water, and the first living creatures came into being. ''Sisuleleis Spero'' is said to have been "situated between the Holy Two, and through its custodian Gizhuri began the great struggle (''Didi Brdzola'') between balance and chaos."
The creation of sentient beings is also described in the books, as "Ver and K'oh breathed a new life into the three confluences of urth, sky, and water. The first confluence, humanity and its relatives; the second, elves and its relatives; the third, nekomimi and its relatives." It is later mentioned in the Ts'igna'reli how other species, like [[Lupine|Lupines]], [[Vulpine|Vulpines]], [[Ursine|Ursines]], and [[Lutryne|Lutrynes]] came into being. The echo left by Ver and K'oh
