Loch, the Leviathan
The sea. It embodies everything of how life must play itself out before its end. A moment of unbridled, wild destruction, and then an eternity of tranquility. Bask yourself in this way of life, help bring it about, and your salvation will be destined.

~ Loch, the Leviathan ~
Loch is the god of floods and tsunamis, formed from the chaotic endless waves of the Plane of Water. Once, Brinomir was filled with only darkness, and this coalesced into an endless rampaging sea that threatened to drown the whole of Materia, and Loch was its king. All Loch had remembered was silence, but since the dawn of Brinomir, it had become filled with incessent noise; he wished to drown it all out and bring everything back to a slumber. But, the god of the sea, Eadro, confronted Loch and managed to seal him away within the Plane of Water to prevent this. To this day, Loch continually bashes against the seals which imprison him, searching for the means of escape so that he may unleash his cosmic storms upon all life.
Loch is regarded as an eldritch god of chaos who seeks to enact something mortals call the Slumbering, in which he will "bring peace and quiet" to the universe. He is widely denounced in many cultures, and those who follow him do so secretly, forming cults that seek to tear down society and actively attack those who follow Eadro.
Dwelling
Loch sifts and rolls inside the Ocean of Infinity within the Plane of Water. He leaves cracks and tears where he can at the border of the realm, seeping his influence and his minions through to manipulate and trick mortals. Those who die in his name are plucked from the Veil, where they are taken into Loch's ocean and transformed into the terrible sahuagins that plague the seas of Materia.Domains
Loch represents the following domains: Tempest. Loch represents animalistic and uncontrolled chaos through his ultimate power over the sea and storms. Destructive strikes of lightning and terrible floods are celebrated in his cults as signs his power still holds true. Death. Loch awaits the time when he brings forth the Slumbering, the end of all things, mortal and god alike. Associated with death, his acolytes seek it in the grandest and worthiest ways.Alignment
Loch represents the following alignments: Chaotic. The Leviathan has no concept for law or order, only the beastial intent to consume everything in a universe-wide flood. Some of his darkest followers work to attempt to break the seals which holds him. Evil. Though he may not distinguish between good or evil, that does not detract from the horrid intent Loch has. Some of his followers use this as a way to conduct themselves in nefarious and selfish ways.Symbol
The common unholy symbol used to represent Loch is a dark stained glass medallion of swirling waves.Let his power be in us. Let our strength be in him. And let our salvation be in the water. We shall not pause, and we shall never stop til' the Leviathan is unleashed once again.
