Gleyma
One of The Old Gods on Quel.
Gleyma is a melancholy and mournful goddess who, legends say, was once in love with the moon. She continues to chase her love, as indicated by the ocean tides. Gleyma is the ruler of the seas, oceans, and all deep waters. As such, she is venerated by sailors, fisherman, those who live near the shore, and those who mourn loss - especially lost love.
“Gleyma” - translated as “clean slate” in common, helps mortals overcome tragedy (e.g., the loss of a loved one or financial ruin) and forgive others who have wronged them through “Fading” of memories. The clergy of Gleyma collect items from mortals and submerge them into dark pools blessed by Gleyma, where the items are believed to be absorbed into the god. These "Fading" Ceremonies take place at sea or where deep mountain lakes can be found. In the southern regions of Arathel, it is common practice to drop these items into Gleyma's Deep located in the mouth of Bright Water Bay. There are also rumors of a deep Fjord in the Silver Fjords where the most expensive and unique items are dedicated to Gleyma, however, this may be a rumor as the clerics of Gleyma deny such a practice.
