Bhezomiax the Maelstrom, the Sea Queen, is the impetuous and volatile daughter of Tamex the Corruptor and Sargonnx the Vengeful. Her unpredictable tempers make her a dangerous foe and a lethal friend as she is temperamental, fickle, and thoroughly unpredictable. Like the sea, she can shift from placidness to violence in mere moments. Also like the sea, she harbors unplumbed depths of utter blackness. Despite her rebellious nature, the Maelstrom refuses to cross her mother, but neither does she cooperate too fully unless in an uncommonly amiable mood. On the other hand, she ignores her father Sargonax, considering him weak and unworthy of Tamex's attentions.
As the creator of the sea, tempests, and weather, Bhezomiax receives petitions and sacrifices from seamen wishing good weather and a safe journey. Though some manage to avoid her rage, others who displease her through some real or imagined slight never see harbor again. Dwarves, especially, are targets of her wrath for they know little of her and shun the sea. To punish them for their ignorance, she delights in spilling dwarves from boats and watching their heavy-boned bodies sink into the depths.
The Deep Lady has never had many priests and she little cares to change this fact. She wars against Kitlin Fishtaker, god of marine life, for control over the seas. The Sea Lord's control beyond the seas makes her mad with rage. Therefore, she offers rewards of extremely favorable weather to any who will kill followers of Kitlin Fishtaker and hunt to extinction his people in the sea. She recruits evil aquatic coastal races and provides her faithful followers with the vast wealth of lost treasure ships.

Duties of the Priesthood

Bhezomiax the Maelstrom has few priests for most beings fear her capriciousness. Those who honor her at all do so by throwing offerings off the sides of their ships. Her few true priests are required to know how to swim.
