Deep Sashelas

Deep Sashelas was an elven deity who made his home on Arvandor, although he was rumored to maintain a demesne off the coast of the Moonshae Isles known as Tír faoi Thoinn.

Personality
Deep Sashelas' presence was felt all across Toril and he sought to be on good terms with underwater races beyond the sea elves. To do so, he relied on the charisma that made him a natural leader, and on his skill as mediator.

Avatar
His avatar looked like a sea elf with blue-green skin and eyes. He preferred to use water-based magic and avoided fire spells.

Despite his involvement, his avatar rarely appeared to fight directly, but he made an exception if Sekolah or Panzuriel (Umberlee) were involved. About half the time he was accompanied by Trishina's avatar. He could but would rarely appear with another asathalfinare member's avatar.

Manifestations
Deep Sashelas appeared to his worshipers in three different ways:
 * A twinkle of light from afar that, if followed by worshipers, lead them to a safe place.
 * A small vent from which bubbles of air escape. This appeared in sea elf communities to warn them of a potential threat or attack.
 * A dolphin-shaped vision made of water with a silver glow. He used this form when communicating with sea elf communities.

Worshipers
Deep Sashelas is mainly worshiped by sea elves as he was their patron deity and creator. In each of their settlements was a temple dedicated to the Dolphin Prince that typically looked like a giant shell. Though sometimes other races sought him as a patron out of an interest in water magic. But among all his worshipers it was forbidden to dabble in the usage of the Shadow Weave.

Priests and druids prayed to him during the high tide that was the closest to midday. They played a role of mediator between the races of the sea and from the land. Thanks to the relationship Deep Sashelas had with Tirishina, his worshipers had a strong bond with dolphins.
