'''Aegis, God of War''' is the Lord General and an esteemed [[Elder Gods|Elder God]]. Many associate the realm of war with the most spectacular and obvious effects of a protacted military campaign. Pictures of armies arrayed against each other are easy to conjure in any mind. Sieged walls, knights riding out in armour and even hordes of demons upon the field are the easiest physical manifestations of war that one can imagine. The realm of Aegis, however, is not limited to the bloody battleground. Aegis' realm encompasses any skill, task, philosophical or social activity that in some fashion creates or perpetuates conflict. Hence, diplomacy, secrecy, merchantry and even scholastics all have a place alongside the more directs arts of battle in the realm of War.

Aegis' order is His army upon Sapience. Whilst it contains some of the most highly skilled warriors in Sapience, it gains its strength through its attention to discipline, to teamwork and to the well-being of the whole; each member, from general to lowly foot soldier, must prove their worth to the army and only those who have shown true faith in Aegis are members of His Order.

Neraeos, God of the Sea, is the Lord of the wine-dark sea and Master of Flowing Waters. He is at times cold and placid, yet He can be driven to great passions, for good or for ill. The fickle, tempestuous sea reflects His moods, the waters an extension of His will.

History

He is the child of Lord Caspian and an unknown mother. As a Demigod, He fought in the War of Humanity, leading a legion of triton warriors against the Triumvirate. He returned to watch over the sentient beings of the undersea after the battle on Nishnatoba had ended. Many centuries later, Neraeos emerged to discover that His father Caspian, then God of the Sea, was bound and pinned beneath His own trident by the will of Sarapis, the Logos. As Neraeos attempted to free His father, Lord Caspian's essence flowed through the Trident of the Seas and into Neraeos, filling Him with power. Lord Caspian crumbled and Lord Neraeos arose as the new God of the Sea.

Neraeos' favoured weapon is the Spear of Tides.

The Nerai

The religion of the Sea practised by the Nerai, faithful followers of Lord Neraeos sometimes called Oceanwalkers, is also a dominant religion of the tritons and merfolk that inhabit the seas and oceans of Achaea. This religion is based on the Nine Virtues of the Path of Equilibrium. These virtues are Duty, Passion, Reason, Vigilance, Pride, Humility, Respect, Strength and Excellence. Applying these virtues to all aspects of life is the province of the Nerai and all followers of Lord Neraeos.

Kog Terias was the first adventurer elevated to the status of Neraeos' Order Champion, bearing the mantle of The Imperial Fist.

Divine Symbols

The Divine symbol of Neraeos is the hippocampus.
