Deep Sashelas (deep SÆSH-ul-us)

Deep Sashelas was an elven deity who made his home on Arvandor, although he was rumored to maintain a demesne off the coast of the Moonshae Isles known as Tír faoi Thoinn.

Personality

Deep Sashelas' presence was felt all across Toril and he sought to be on good terms with underwater races beyond the sea elves. To do so, he relied on the charisma that made him a natural leader, and on his skill as mediator.

Worshipers

Deep Sashelas was mainly worshiped by the sea elves, as he was their patron deity and creator. In each of their settlements, there was a temple dedicated to the Dolphin Prince that typically looked like a giant shell. Sometimes, other races sought him as a patron out of an interest in water magic. Among all of his worshipers, it was forbidden to dabble in the usage of the Shadow Weave.

Priests and druids prayed to him during the high tide that was the closest to midday. They played the role of mediators between the races of the sea and of the land. Thanks to Deep Sashelas’s relationship with Trishina, his worshipers had a strong bond with dolphins.
