Here. WIP, gonna whip up a picture of him in PhotoShop when I have the time. Think up a tale or two, as well. But for right now I just want to get the bulk of it up. [hider=Nahargu'ul][center][h1][color=slategray]Nahargu’ul of the Deep and Dark[/color][/h1] [i]God of Vast Waters, Terror of the Depths, Lord of the Abyss, Sea-Fiend[/i][/center] [h3][color=slategray]Domains[/color][/h3] Oceans, seas, and all things that lurk amidst them. [h3][color=slategray]Powers[/color][/h3] Nahargu’ul holds reign over the waters of the world, nigh all-consuming and uncontestable. Waves beat at his command, both to bring ships safely to their destinations, and to send them down into the depths where Nahargu’ul’s monstrous leviathans wait to devour them whole. While he cannot conjure storms in the clouds above, he can summon mighty vortexes to pull in vessels. Aside from those who suffer his wrath, Nahargu’ul is known to express his favor unto those who offer him substantial tribute. Such blessings consist of fishermen bringing in great bounties, divers being able to breath indefinitely underwater, and other such simple gifts. [h3][color=slategray]Vulnerabilities[/color][/h3] Where there is no water, Nahargu’ul possesses no influence. His most powerful creatures that lurk in the lowest levels of the ocean are warded off by intense light. He himself is blinded by it as well, when he is physically manifested. While fire cannot thrive under his rule, intense heat is known to cause his creatures great harm. All these things dwellers of the land take into account when they would clash with Nahargu’ul, although rarely in victory. [h3][color=slategray]Appearance[/color][/h3] Nahargu’ul goes unseen by many, for where he lurks is uninhabited by mortal men. Those who [i]have[/i] witnessed him describe him as a massive, hulking leviathan, humanoid in shape, with a face riddled with tentacles and eight gleaming red eyes. None have seen much else of him in the dark of the depths, and he has never been known to assume a human form that can traverse the land. [h3][color=slategray]Creations[/color][/h3] An untold number of things swim in the waters of the world, the largest and most dangerous of which are Nahargu’ul’s own spawn, who carry out his will upon sailing ships that displease him. From the greatest and most feared krakens to small but vicious sirens, all things both large and meager, fierce and timid, are of his origination. [h3][color=slategray]Worshipers, Religion, and Culture[/color][/h3] Many who live by the coasts of the mainlands would argue that Nahargu’ul’s is not so much a religion, but a social service. Those who are devoted to keeping him pleased within their own sphere of reality will take to warning any who would listen that tribute must be offered, or they would meet their deaths out in the open waters. They say appropriate tribute consists of something those who make the trip hold value in - some of their money, or cargo, or food, or even their own blood. Truth be told, Nahargu’ul desires none of these things, but those who would deny his power and influence over the world and its system of trade breed contempt within him, and for what little interaction he has with mortals, he does [i]not[/i] like to be doubted. [h3][color=slategray]Region or Location[/color][/h3] Nahargu’ul’s influence is spread about all the waters of the world, from the winding coasts to the deepest trenches. Indeed, out of all the Pantheon, he possess the greatest area of influence, but no so much over the mortals who make use of it. After all, life is lived almost entirely on land, but what is trade and commerce without hauling cargo from continent to continent? Nahargu’ul can steadily direct the state of the world’s economy any direction he so chooses, but for good will towards his fellow gods, he keeps things within an appropriate medium. [h3][color=slategray]Personality[/color][/h3] Nahargu’ul is a distant sort towards the rest of the Pantheon, not finding much interest in their affairs with mortals. When he [i]is[/i] in the company of others, he exhibits a calm tone with a choice of cryptic vocabulary. He enjoys testing mortals from time to time by sending his aquatic abominations against them, if only to quell the monotony of the ocean. He especially delights when pirates assault merchant ships, privy to send forth any kind of creature or torrent to sway the battle in his favored direction. Truthfully, Nahargu’ul’s nature is quite sporadic, but it is simple enough to stay in his favor, and equally simple to invoke his ire. [h3][color=slategray]Opinions[/color][/h3] [color=red]Kilgarrah[/color] - Nahargu’ul has never been much of a fan of dragons. Kilgarrah, in all his pride and coveting of trinkets, is actually the subject of much silent ridicule on Nahargu’ul’s part. He finds the dragon god’s nature somewhat amusing, and both know full well that his rage cannot pierce the oceans. In fact, he taunts him with the knowledge that countless, grand treasures lie sunken in the ocean depths, which he may never reach. [h3][color=slategray]Tales[/color][/h3][/hider]
