| GORA-DAILENG:
The underworld is a dreadful place of agony according to myths of the
Caroline Islanders of Micronesia. Gora-Daileng is the lord of the dead
who punishes depraved souls for the wickedness of their lives. his
tortures include eternally roasting spirits in an unbearably hot furnace and
casting them into an endless river from which none return. He is
considered so frightening to the islanders that they do not speak his name
aloud, lest he think he is being summoned.
