Tenets of Faith
Everything must flow. Change is constant. Don't fight the current.
Holidays
Nawanne (nah-WAHN) is celebrated during the spring equinox, which is also the beginning of the rainy season in many places. It is celebrated by change - anything from rearranging furniture to starting a new relationship. Almost everyone wears a new outfit on Nawanne, and people perform roles that they are unaccustomed to.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
To keep Ancora's rivers flowing, to distribute precipitation, and to keep everything progressing.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Large and covered in color-changing scales, Nawan is virtually indistinguishable from the other dragon gods.
Body Features
Large scales that change color at will.
Facial Features
They have a medium-sized snout that ends in closed nostrils.
Identifying Characteristics
It is difficult to tell which of the Six is Nawan unless they happen to be wet.
Physical quirks
Nawan moves smoothly and elegantly.
Special abilities
Dragon magic - it is difficult to pin down, but definitely there and definitely powerful.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Nawan is one of the most frequently seen of the dragon gods. They are often seen playing in or near the ocean, and they love to bathe in small lakes. Nawan is most known for their sense of humor - they enjoy puns and clever wording.
Gender Identity
They use the somewhat-confusing plural pronouns "they" for lack of more appropriate ones. Gender is unnecessary for the Six, anyhow.
Sexuality
Not applicable.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Nawan is responsible for keeping the rivers moving and the rain (or snow) at a life-sustaining level.
Failures & Embarrassments
Every so often, Nawan will fail to visit a certain area, resulting in drought. This is generally an oversight (usually remedied after a gentle reminder from Paden), but they have been known to punish certain societies by withholding water or flooding places for brief periods of time.
Mental Trauma
They are a rather well-balanced individual.
Intellectual Characteristics
Nawan is rather practical and a very skilled linguist.
Morality & Philosophy
Everything must flow - though we may not see it, even the most still pond is changing.
Taboos
The fastest way to get on Nawan's bad side is to try to stop or attempt to ignore change. Those that hold hard-and-fast to outdated modes of thinking may just find themselves in a drought.
