Procan

Summary

  Procan is the ancient primordial god of Oceans. Typically worshipped for his aquatic aspect, a few inland peoples revere him as a weather god. He is greedy, tempestuous, and mercurial, rarely keeping the same mood for more than an hour.   His trident Undertow is made of coral and gold and finds sunken treasure; this weapon over a cresting wave is his holy symbol.  
"The seas and skies are ever-changing and unpredictable. The waters that blanket the earth are deep and unknowable, and their waves can pull down any ship not guided by Procan. He must be honoured so that one can avoid his fury in the greatest storms and reap the bounties of the deep blue waters. Life came from the sea and to the sea all life will return." - Wellgar Brinehanded
  Acolyte of Procan avoid complexities in life (the faith itself has few rituals) and usually live on or near the sea, attending to those who earn their livelihood on the seas. They are considered good luck on sea voyages, and are often hired by captains, or choose to pilot their own vessels. They may be leaders or enemies of pirates.  

Rituals & Beliefs

Acolytes of Procan have very few written beliefs and tend to express their faith in terms of superstitions rather than through religious doctrine. The closest form of doctrine they hold is the Tenets of The Endless Tides which outline a way to live peacefully alongside Procan.   Bad omens are abundant and plentiful among the acolytes, and some critics of the faith would argue that it is excessive in its fear-mongering.
