'''Deucalion, the Righteous Fire''' is the [[God]] of [[Righteousness]]. Together with [[Aurora]], He watches over the devout servants of [[Good]].
'''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.

Originally, His name was [[Dunamis]], which means "The Justice that Was" in the language of the [[Aldar]]. Dunamis was contacted, through extensive prayer and [[meditation]], by [[Tassad Baraslan]], a newly appointed secretary of the modern [[Church|Holy Church of Achaea]]. Tassad learned that the spirit was unable to leave the [[plane]] upon which he was imprisoned without releasing vast quantities of [[chaos]] throughout [[Creation]], something Dunamis did not wish to happen. After months of thought and prayer, Tassad discovered a means to take Dunamis' place on this plane of [[Order]] by way of ritual. He sacrificed himself in the process. Upon Dunamis's arrival on the [[Prime Material Plane]], [[Sarapis]] raised him to godhood, renaming Him Deucalion, which translates as "The Justice that Is." 
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 (mythology)|Triumvirate]]. He returned to watch over the sentient beings of the [[:Category:Underwater|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 [[Divine essence|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.


Deucalion went on to patron the Holy Church with Aurora, bestowing the [[Holy Codex]] upon the fledgling congregation to serve as enduring guidance for life, spirit, and daily conduct. A scant half century later His essence was dispersed when He sacrificed Himself to contain the life-destroying explosion from the [[Death's Heart Saga|Death's Heart]]. In 261 AF, [[Maran La'Saen]], the Sultan of [[Shallam]] and earstwhile guildmaster of the [[Empyreal Assembly|Priests Guild]], sacrificed himself in an attempt to resurrect Him. Although unsuccessful, the Gods honoured Maran's selfless act and his soul was joined with the remaining essence of Deucalion to become [[Pentharian]], God of Righteousness.
Neraeos' favoured weapon is the [[Spear of Tides]].


In 612 AF, [[Shallam]] fell to the forces of [[Bal'met]] the Worldreaver. Through the prayers of the faithful, and the newly recovered [[Sword of Dunamis]], Deucalion was summoned back from the void. He and [[Aurora]] now watch over Good and battle the forces of Chaos, Darkness, and [[Evil]], Their power commingled by Their [[bloodsworn|bloodswearing]].

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 [[:Category:Oceans and Seas|seas and oceans]] of Achaea.

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.
