The asathalfinare was a multi-species pantheon worshiped by good-aligned aquatic races. It was led by the elven god Deep Sashelas, who made considerable efforts to maintain its unity.[1][2]
Its name was a contraction of a much longer Elven phrase meaning "those who have their being in the sea haunted by the true dream". They worked to minimize conflict between their respective peoples.[1]
Members[]
Members of the asathalfinare shared in common that the vast majority of their worshipers were water-breathing species living beneath water and that the protection of those waters was paramount in all of their thoughts.[1]
They included:
- Deep Sashelas, creator of the sea elves and leader of the asathalfinare pantheon.[3][2]
- Eadro, creator of the locathah and merfolk.[4]
- Persana, god of tritons.[5]
- Trishina, mother of the shalarin, goddess of the dolphins and consort of Deep Sashelas.[6]
- Surminare, goddess of the selkies.[2]
- Water Lion, an enigmatic god half-lion, half-fish.[2][7]
- Syranita, patron deity of the aarakocra.[6] She was a member despite being an air goddess. This was partly because of her friendship with Aerdrie Faenya, with whom she supposedly merged,[8] and partly because she sought amity for her relatively weak race.[6]
Relations[]
Stronmaus is well-disposed toward the gods of the asathalfinare, and might send avatars to help them in times of need.[9]
They shared a common enmity for Sekolah, the sahuagin god[10] and for Umberlee/Panzuriel.[11]
