Deep Sashelas

Lord of the Undersea, The Dolphin Prince, The Knowledgeable One, Sailor's Friend, The Creator

The Dolphin Prince teaches elves not to cling to unchanging things, but instead to love change itself. The sea is beautiful and bountiful, but its bounty is not limitless, and devotees of Deep Sashelas should safeguard the ocean from those that would take greedily, or spread darkness there.   The Sashelan clergy, mostly comprised of clerics and druids, are known collectively as the Delphions. They are most recognized for their sea-green vestments and armor made of shells. Fending off sahuagin incursions and keeping the shark population at bay are two major duties of the Delphions.   Sashelan houses of worship are often built deep undersea, and while some may be built of carved stone, the oldest and finest are comprised of naturally growing coral that is carefully tended and shaped by the Delphions. The temples are often decorated with jewels sacrificed by sailors and surface-dwelling devotees of Deep Sashelas.   There is never a time when the influence of Deep Sashelas is not acknowledged. Delphions hold daily ceremonies, the High Flow to celebrate beauty, and the Deep Ebb to remember fallen guardians of the sea, coinciding with the high and low tides. During these ceremonies, priests swim in intricate patterns with pods of dolphins, harmonizing in deep songs to give praise to The Dolphin Prince. Though both ceremonies seem to follow the same pattern, the feeling is very different between the two; the High Flow is a joyous celebration, while the Deep Ebb takes on a more somber tone.
