The people from Aqis think a Keregan is a snake. They believe that Keregan is responsible for stealing fish from fishermen. Whenever something happens to a fisherman when they fish in The Nuurun River, they blame the Keregan. If they lose fish, their boat tip over, or they do not catch anything. They blame Keregan. The people of Aqis describe Keregan as a long blue snake with black eyes. It lives in the river close to the Aqis border. They tell the story about Keregan differently. Some think the snake was put in the water as a punishment from the gods. Some believe the snake sneaked out from Eshwar. The underworld and got stuck in The Nuurun River.
No one in Aqis wants to meet the snake face to face. The people of Aqis believe it takes your soul if you look into the snake's black eyes. They also think that the snake's gaze can paralyze you. If the snake traps your soul, then your soul is stuck in the underworld for eternity. Everyone in Aqis is afraid of Keregan. Because of that, no one fishes at night around The Nuurun River in Aqis.
Different from the people of Aqis. The people in Iroya believe that the Keregan is a whale. For them, a Keregan is a blessing. Seeing one is said to bring luck. People from Iroya would describe a Keregan as a small whale with a hint of blue and white. In their mind, the whale is not bigger than an arm. It always shocks people to hear that the people of Iroya believe something in The Nuurun River can be a blessing. The reason why they believe Keregan is because it grants the wish of the pure-hearted. But anyone can see glimpses of a Keregan, according to the people of Iroya.
If you see it, it means good luck is in your future. Some believe that if you see a Keregan with the person you are dating, it means that the two of you will get married. Mothers feel that if they see Keregan when they are pregnant, their children will have Keregan's blessing for the rest of their lives. People from Iroya think Keregan is one of the gods in The Nuurun River. In their stories, Keregan lives in the river because it is a portal to heaven and the underworld. The Keregan is the keeper between the worlds and protects the people of Iroya from anything that escapes the underworld.
For the people in Sogal, a Keregan is an octopus. In their stories, Keregan was a warrior who served the gods. But one day, Keregan betrayed the gods. As punishment, the gods cursed Keregan and turned him into an octopus. Now, Keregan swims around in The Nuurun River for eternity. Almost everyone from Sogal is trying to find the octopus. They believe if you find Keregan, then you can train it. Many of them want the power of Keregan for themselves. But no one has ever seen Keregan.
