The Lesser Deities

Ssarth'vahir


Lesser God of Water, ship-wrecks, and the Shadows of the Deep. His symbols are the Leviathan and a broken sextant. Also known as the Father of Storms, SSarth'vahir has been known to bring great destruction upon the lands with great hurricanes and water spouts when he feels his followers are growing lax in their worship. He reigns over all bodies of water, but regards the oceans above the rest, for the black crushing depths bring solitude from the chaos above. He is worshipped by many fisherman, captains, merchants, and pirates because he will grant fair weather and favorable winds to his followers should they please him. The gift of coins or small gems tossed into the water along with a prayer in his name are common when ships set sail. Some of the most fanatical of his followers have been know to offer blood and even flesh to appease SSarth'vahir when undertaking particularly treacherous voyages. SSarth'vahir doesn't have traditional temples, but instead many shorelines are dotted with small makeshift altars of driftwood and seashells, usually tended to by one of the more devout of his followers. Often these tenders are retired sea captains who have survived some harrowing experience due the grace of his most Holy Eminence, Lord of the Deep, SSarth'havir, Bringer of Storms and Quencher of Flame.

Torskyn


Torskyn, the Triton Goddess of Health & Fertility. Her symbol is an opened golden shell bearing a milky white pearl. Her followers are usually young and looking to start a family, old and wanting grandchildren, or those suffering from ailments. Her highest holy day is the first day of spring, when the land is being reborn from the death of winter. Most large and some mid-size cities have a Shrine where the sick are brought to receive blessings and healing. Common offerings include gold, bread, and sweets
