As a goddess of birth and fate, Kaltesh is responsible for a person's lifespan, and keeps a record book.[2][3][4] She was believed to protect women in childbirth.[4]
Kaltesh may have been the wife - or, in other variations of the story, the daughter or sister - of the god Nuri-Toorum.[5][6] Kaltesh was the mother (or, depending on the legend, the aunt, or sister) of a key figure in myth, World-Surveyor Man.[2]
