Eadro, the Seaworthy Character in Kustaanos | World Anvil

Eadro, the Seaworthy


The sea is a dangerous realm. Its waves are in constant war with itself, breaking over one after the other. But I am the water's surface, that which seals the waves and commands the direction of its flow. Seek my protection so that you may never know its harm, never be swept down into the crushing darkness that lurks below..
~ Eadro, the Seaworthy ~

 
Eadro is the god of water and waterlife, and is often labeled the Creator of the Sea. When Brinomir was once filled with darkness, it coalesced into an endless rampaging sea that threatened to drown the whole of Materia, headed by an evil being named Loch. But, Eadro confronted the odigious god, sealing him away behind the chaotic Plane of Water that he had once come from, and leaving the rest of Materia with calm and controlled oceans which Eadro gave them. To this day, Eadro guards the plane the Leviathan is sealed behind, preventing any tear in the fabric of reality from letting even a drop of its water out.   While he maintains the ordered waters on worlds like Kustaanos, he is consequently locked in an ongoing battle of strength against Loch. Eadro is regarded as a god of peace due to common belief that he is the one which calms the storms on the sea and gives bountiful fishing harvests. In cultures like the Silver Piece Collective, sailors and pirates alike will often toss silver coins into the water before leaving port as a way to pay honor to the Seaworthy.
 

Dwelling

Eadro watches the border to the Plane of Water at the Gate of Depths in the Apaphana. His deepest acolytes, should their souls be willing in the Veil, are taken to become one with the seal to increase its power and better ensure calamity does not befall the rest of mortalkind.
