Taltos

From FeyworldWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Taltos, the Deepdweller, was created by Dagon to oppose Betshaba in her sphere as Goddess of Water. He is the patron of sea monsters and his seed has resulted in the creation of many creatures of the deep who harrow merchants and travelers on Betshaba’s waters. Most of Taltos’ worshippers are pirates, who he encourages to work together to gain riches and plunder on the seas. His worship is strongest in the Pirate Isles, but most coastal regions at least have a secret seacave where sacrifices can be made before long ocean journeys in an attempt to appease him. Taltos’ priests are often excellent scholars and are encouraged to use logic and reason in all things. Unlike most other deities of his rank, Taltos is on good terms with all his children, even those who bicker with each other, and this alliance is seen as one of the greater threats to the Triadic deities.
