Deluge

The Manifestation of the Seas.   As a New God, Deluge is quite the oddity, and not simply due to his status as one of the few gods to remain on the mortal plane post-ragnarok. While his title as the god of the oceans, it's storms and the act of sailing is undisbuted now, how he gained such a title is disbuted. In ancient times when the seas were still uncharted and unknown, many prayed to the sea itself, not out of reverence but out of fear, these prayers predate Deluge's first appearance by numerous elven generations. This prayer eventually evolved over time as people took to sailing, the first record of the name Deluge came from a now sunken cavern settlement in Svartalfheim.   Deluge holds a rather... different, relationship with their followers on the surface, Deluge is not a benovolent creature, nor is he one of malice perse, unlike the other dieties, Deluge appears to be constantly growing over time. Earliest records depicted him akin to a mindless animal, The First priests of Deluge held the task of "training" Deluge so to speak, as he began developing a primitive intellect. All gods start to weaken and lose authority, a fact Deluge would eventually learn, Prayer to Deluge was used to ward off his destructive impulses in the age of gods, like a treat for a dog. As this continued the priests had started hearing his voice in their minds, Deluge had slowly started to learn to communicate over time, starting with a long forgotten variant of Aquan, the modern day Deluge is capable of speaking fluent Aquan, bits of primordial and bits of a watered-down, broken common.     Main Place of worship: One of the few facts about the undersea kingdom of Tritons and other Fomorians is that their offical religion is Deluge. Beyond the Fomorians, Sailors will frequntly offer prayer to Deluge for good luck on expeditions, Islands along the Dead Sea constantly pray to Deluge for their own safety, The Dead Sea has always been a dangerous place, and many Islands have been known to sink into the ocean for numerous reasons, Islands often revere Deluge as equal parts a Guardian Diety and an ancient beast.   "Freak of nature"
