Thalassa, Goddess of the Sea and Storms

Thalassa is a dual-natured deity, embodying both the calm, nurturing aspects of the sea and its tempestuous, destructive power.

Thalassa the Benevolent

As the benevolent aspect, Thalassa is a gentle and caring deity. She is associated with the calm seas, safe harbors, and the bounty of the ocean. Her followers are often fishermen, sailors, and coastal dwellers who seek her protection and blessings. She is depicted as a serene woman, often surrounded by dolphins or seabirds.
Domains: Water, Life, Protection
Symbol: A dolphin leaping from a calm sea
Worship: Often involves offerings of fish or seashells, and rituals are held near the shore or on boats.

Thalassa the Terrible

As the terrible aspect, Thalassa is a fearsome goddess of storms, shipwrecks, and the dark depths of the ocean. Her wrath is swift and devastating, and those who anger her face the terrifying power of the sea. She is depicted as a monstrous creature, often with tentacles or scales, and her eyes are said to glow with a sinister light.
Domains: Tempest, Destruction, Death
Symbol: A kraken emerging from a stormy sea
Worship: Often involves sacrifices of animals or even humans, and rituals are held during storms or near dangerous reefs.


The duality of Thalassa reflects the ever-changing nature of the sea. She can be a source of life and sustenance, but she can also be a force of destruction and terror. Her followers must learn to respect and fear her, understanding that her favor can turn to wrath with little warning.
