Drych-La
There are places in the seas where one can see neither the air above nor the seafloor below. Places ruled by the currents, utter depths, profound and nigh infinite. Where water is most pure, at the crux of flow and stillness, these can the power of Drych-La be found. The sole creation of Li-Ban, they among the most alien and ineffable of Anacra's Gods.
Drych-La rarely communicates with mortals, and has few worshippers. Their priest kingdom, Marratu, is hidden somewhere beneath the waves, reclusive and quiet. Sea creatures and aquatic species are among Drych-La's sparse worshippers. Only when sailors drown at sea do their fellows pray to the Deep One, to spit them back up or take them in peace.

Holy Books & Codes
The Glass Mantras, recited by contemplatives around the world, are the only universally agreed upon holy texts of Drych-La. Treatises on the nature of Drych-La's peace penned by the dragonborn of Okarthel and the channelers of Kast differ vastly in individual interpretation.
The denizens of Tilmachelon believe that Drych-La is a counterbalancing force to Nis, the Kindler of the Flame Within, and hold that meditation on these two is the key to anchoring one's soul during the use of Blood Magic.

Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Much like the watertable beneath the stones, Drych-La's motivations are largely unknown. The titan rarely intervenes in worldly affairs, except to serve as an exemplar of inner tranquility to those in search of enlightenment. Sages argue about whether Drych-La's will remain passive forever, holding true to that image of tranquility, or whether the titan is simply waiting like a secret wellspring for the time to take decisive action.
