Seen as a protector, a force of steadfastness and tranquility, and longevity due to their long lifespans. A wise and clever deity and one filled with knowledge. Seemingly referred to as a symbol of power amongst the ocean, of tenacity and longevity.   "There is no place like home."

Temples & Shrines

His temples can be found as natural groves or shrines resting upon sandy shores or by the coastline - simple and natural abodes in places, even in civilised regions, where one can find safe harbour, anchorage and safe passage across the sea. Many ports can be seen to dedicate lighthouses in his honour and decorated in his own motiffs and iconography.

Realm

Toridon makes his home within the Elemental Plane of Water, in a region known as the Calm Tempest.  

Divine Domains

Holy Books & Codes

Toridon does not carry any holy text with him, but rather, passes on a oral-philosophy by his worshippers and his clerics known as the "Fabled Wisdoms", to those seeking good fortune amongst the sea, and promotes resilience against hardships, fortifying the spirit against arduous challenges and journeys far away from home and upon the sea. Used as mantras mostly.

Divine Symbol

A tortoise-shell.

Tenets of Faith

Home is where the heart is, so cherish this and do not worry. The sea connects us to the world, do not fear it, for it shall make you better.
