"Ferryman"
"The Ferryman" was revered as the noble guardian of safe passage and trusted navigation across rivers, lakes, and waterways. His mastery over the flow of currents and his impeccable memory for every name and face made him indispensable to ancient travelers, merchants, and adventurers alike. With every voyage, he ensured that all who trusted him reached their destination unharmed.
Yet as the world progressed, roads were mapped and new routes established, diminishing the need for his guidance. His followers gradually abandoned him, and the divine light that once marked his godhood dimmed. Now, "The Ferryman" lingers as an Old god, no longer a celestial being but a remnant of a time when trust and loyalty were the greatest currency. Though stripped of divine power, his wisdom remains intact. Ever honest, hardworking, and fair, "The Ferryman" still holds to his creed: loyalty and respect are the only true tolls he demands. He is a god of class and dedication, not overwhelming might.
