I'm creating a mostly homebrew campaign and wanted to figure out what gods tritons would worship. Right now there are only a few gods that they could have in common with the humanoid that live on the surface. There's Edaltha, Umberlee, Kord, Melora, and Deep Sashelas. They're all related to the ocean, but I feel like more deities could be specifically known to the ocean people.
Wondering if anyone's got any ideas I can work with.
I rewrote Sashelas for my campaign and turned the deep ocean into a sort of limbo
The First Fallen
Sashelas was a young god when the Empyrean War waged on the battleground of Urathil, but a proud god who took up arms to fight. On the day of the celestial exodus, when the gods left us, they tried to leave, but fell. They landed in the chaotic tides of the newly formed seas, they sank and fell far below the surface in the unending waters. Neither dead nor living they sank, their wounds closed and healed by the chaotic tides. They pondered their fate as they drifted ever deeper, lost in an empty void of darkness and water. They would be the last to suffer this fate.
Sashelas stopped fighting the chaotic nature of the oceans and allowed themselves to be taken by them. The waters consumed the god and spread his body across the sea’s where in death it became the beds of the oceans themselves. But they were not truly dead, and their life energy birthed new creatures in the sea, serpents, elves and more uncharted.
Urathil was not done with Sashelas though, their being became something new, something different. Where previously there had been the domain of life and a domain of death, there was now Sashelas domain, known as The Deep. A chaotic sea you must travel if you wish to claim Deaths reward, while Sashelas captains a ship across these waters personally to ferry those souls across, not all are patient enough to await the gods return from Deaths shores. They attempt to cross themselves, and while few have made the journey, most do not and are lost to the Deep, returned to the domain of life, neither dead nor alive.
I can actually use some of that, it's got some stuff I could really use. There's a good amount of secrets and mystery so this gives me some idea foundations. Thank you!
