Lord Caspian crumbled and Lord Neraeos arose as the new God of the Sea.
 
Eons ago, Pandora took the [[Caduceus of Castigation]], a precious artefact belonging to [[Sarapis]], while the Logos was away. She then proceeded to wreak havoc across the lands, turning various of the mortals She found amusingly frail into maggots, cripples, and mutes. Her overuse of the artefact caused it to fuse to Her hand, making it necessary for Sarapis to amputate it from Her wrist upon His return. Both angered and amused by Pandora's escapades, Sarapis branded Pandora with the title "Goddess of Mischief" so that mortals would know their peril when She was near. Those who follow this fun-loving Goddess worship Her at the Temple of Pandora.


In the year 811 AF, adventurers gathered for a party, which unbeknownst to them turned out to be a coming of age party for the Goddess Pandora. During the party Aegis asked Pandora to take Her rightful place at his side and she refused. After rejecting Her Father's offer and rebuking what was expected of Her, She took on the mantle of The Wayward Heir and expanded her realm to rebellion against the status quo.
Neraeos' favoured weapon is the [[Spear of Tides]].


[[Counterpoint]] is the favoured weapon of the Wayward Heir.

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.
