Valkur

Valkur (pronounced val-KURR ), the Captain of the Waves, is the demipower deity of sailors, ships, favorable winds, and naval combat.

Valkur's philosophy often puts him in conflict with the capricious ocean-goddess Umberlee.

Dogma
"There is nothing more invigorating than challenging the elements. The feel of wind and spray on one's face and the deck pitching beneath one's feet is the greatest feeling in the world. If humankind is to expand its reach, daring men and women must defy the odds and dare the impossible. The thrill of exploration is sweeter than wine or rum. There is always risk, but without risk life is empty. Life is to be lived and damn the consequences. One's loyalties are first to one's mates, then to one's ship, and then to Valkur, who protects all sailors. Rely not on Valkur's hand to always extract you from difficulties, for such is coddling and leads to lack of challenge and the room to grow. Rather, Valkur helps those who actively solving their own problems by helping their plans work."
