Thalor

• Tempest
• Nature
• Ocean (custom domain encompassing tidal magic, marine creatures, stormworking)

• The Abyssal Harp: A driftwood instrument strung with kraken-hairs. When played, it can calm tempests or lure creatures of the deep.
• Shell of the Last Breath: A conch that, when blown, preserves the final breath or dying words of a creature—often used in funerary rites.
• Tidewake Mantle: A cloak woven from seafoam and moonlight. Grants the wearer immunity to drowning and allows them to walk across water during storms.

• The Nine Verses of Salt: A scripture chanted, not written, preserved in song and wave-patterned tattoos
• Driftbark Codex: Shipwreck-planks engraved with prophecies and omens received beneath the waves
• Stormfather’s Pact: A scroll kept in a sealed temple beneath the sea, said to contain the ancient bargain between storm and silence

• A three-pronged trident surrounded by concentric ripples
• A wave crest shaped like an open eye
• A coiled serpent made of tidefoam biting its own tail (used in secretive sea rites)

• Respect the sea, or be broken by it
• Sing to the ocean before you sail
• Offer your sorrow to the tide—it remembers
• Change is law, and water the lawgiver

• Song of the Stormmother (first thunderstorm of spring): Sailors and tidecallers sing ballads into the surf, seeking Thalor’s favor
• The Drowning Silence (late autumn): A solemn remembrance of those lost at sea; no boats may leave harbor
• Tidebound Union (eclipse-tide alignment): A rare celestial event where sea and moon align; celebrated with weddings, oaths, and promises cast into deep water

• To maintain balance between calm and chaos across oceans and tides
• To ensure mortals respect the powers of storm and sea
• To protect his son Naelir from divine suppression and cultural erasure

Thalor’s form is powerful and fluid, as if shaped from tidal energy. His sea-toned skin bears faintly glowing marks like aquatic runes, and his long silver hair is perpetually in motion, even in stillness. Horns like deep-sea coral curl upward from his brow, glowing faintly with bioluminescent blue. When he walks, mist coils around him, and seawater may rise to greet his feet.

• Eyes like storm-lit abysses, glowing faint violet in moments of divine presence
• His voice echoes like a thousand waves speaking in harmony
• He wears a garment woven from kelp, starlight, and stormclouds, often open to reveal a constellation-like scar over his chest—a gift from Selaveth after Naelir’s birth

• Commands all waters, from ocean to blood
• Can breathe and speak through any current
• May transform into living storm, kraken, or mist
• Hears the prayers of all sailors, even those who curse him
• Can drag entire memories into the sea to be forgotten forever

Vorlash, the Trident of the Deep Song :
Forged from the bones of an ancient leviathan and tipped with celestial coral, this divine trident holds the force of the fathoms.

• Tidecall (3/day): Summon a massive wave, storm, or whirlpool that can reshape terrain or engulf armies.
• Stormsong: When wielded in battle, Vorlash resonates with thunderous hymnals, inspiring allies and deafening enemies.
• Command the Depths: Grants Thalor (or his chosen) control over marine beasts and water elementals within a 10-mile radius.
• Echo of the Sea: Can absorb the last spoken words of a drowning soul and replay them when thrust into the sea.

• Created during the First Surge when Aurenos dreamed of movement
• Rose from the deepest trenches, born knowing sorrow
• Fell in love with Selaveth, a union that defied cosmic law
• Fathered Naelir and fought to keep his son’s essence from being unmade
• Led the Leviathan War against the Founders’ control of the ocean’s will

• Ended the Age of Broken Ships by taming storm-winds with sacred songs
• Created coral sanctuaries that act as fey-gates under the ocean
• Gifted mortals with tide-speech—language that allows them to sense change
• Forged the Pact of the Undrowned with Virelyn to spare souls swallowed by the sea

• His grief over Selaveth's parting once caused the Sea of Mirrors to vanish for a decade
• Allowed jealousy to push him into open conflict with Aurenos, nearly fracturing divine law
• Lost the Voice of the Coral Choir, a sacred artifact, in a forgotten trench—he blames himself

• Let nothing remain still—movement is life
• Love is sacred, no matter how doomed
• The sea gives, but it remembers every debt
• Strength lies in surrendering to deeper currents

• To defend the wild balance of oceanic magic and emotion
• To protect Naelir’s fragile place in the world
• To remind the gods that the ocean is older than pride

• Honored in storm prayers, sailor tattoos, funeral rites, and oceanic epics
• His likeness appears in driftwood carvings, whale-bone relics, and temple ships
• Seen as a father to orphans, a judge of drowned sins, and a romantic whose heart is still out at sea

• Selaveth (Lover): Passionate and painful; though separated, he remains deeply devoted
• Naelir (Son): A source of pride and protectiveness; he listens for Naelir’s songs in the stars
• Aurenos (Rival): A respectful hatred; Aurenos sought to erase Thalor’s emotional freedom
• Virelyn: An ally in silence and inevitability; they share the role of divine closure
• Fenros: Occasional partners in natural balance, though Thalor finds him too “soft”
• Ziralei: Mutual recognition of desire’s darker tides; they rarely speak, but understand one another in glances
