Myths
When Boldur established the creation of earth, it was Maclir who was requested by Brigid to fill the earth with water to help her cause. He did so, and allowed the seas to be made to create sustenance for living creatures. For this reason, the Tritons were called Sea Elves when they were created, viewed as brethren to Brigid’s creation. Brigid filled the sea with creatures while Maclir created storms to benefit the land, working in harmony. However, Brigid eventually blamed Maclir for causing the chaos on in earth as he was the one who created the ferocious seas. Feeling betrayed, Maclir denounced the dwarves and elves, creating the sea dangerous for them to travel in. Only those brave enough to come into his waters he honored. He is also associated with the myth of Miraica, the Seaweed Woman. According to legend he took the soul of an Elf woman lost at sea and incarnated her as a seaweed woman. He took her as a bride to be with him forever in the sea. However, she does try to go back to land, being reduced to piles of seaweed whenever she does and her soul transferring back to the ocean.Davy Jones' Locker
Maclir created a specific afterlife for those who were lost at sea. Dubbing it his "locker", he intended it to be a realm where good people would thrive, reliving life as a sailor in a sea that lasted forever. The evil would perish and relive their horrible deaths for the rest of eternity. The creation of this locker made Maclir an unpopular god with humans.Divine Domains

In reality, Maclir simply wants his power recognized by the other gods, being a depressed and lonely god. His creation of the sea, though appreciated by the mortals, does not seem to be liked by anyone else.
