Nethrysis, The Keeper of the Tides

Introduction

Nethrysis is a creature born of the planet. During the Age of Creation, when Bel'Thezorn, God of the Deep-below was entombed by the bodies of the twin sisters of order and chaos, Zycore had begun to evolve and form. Not only were landmasses created, but so too were the much larger expanses of ocean. Here, there was nothing except the influences and byproducts of the deities bodies. Thus, the creation and evolution of life began. With the pantheon of Zycore waiting in anticipation as the world was created, there was nothing to stop the development of the oldest species. However, Bel'thazorn still lived, and with his continuous, boiling rage, he split a part of himself and sent forth through the crust of the world a new creation, a demi-god of sorts. However, unbeknownst to Bel'thazorn, this creature evolved just like anything else, and morphed into the creature known today as Nethrysis, an extremely powerful and free eldritch being capable of deific feats of wonder and horror. Nethrysis took this opportunity to develop a home for itself, known only to a very rare few as The Ever-Tide. Here, he would control the ocean and, in turn, dominate over the land as well, for is it the dependency of the sea that the air-breathers survive. However, Nethrysis was not allowed to take this charge unto himself without competition. Thus, during the Age of Evolution and Fertility, Vitris (The godess of the ocean) descended upon the world and waged her own war against this eldritch horror. With an epic battle that shattered an entire continent (Present-day Ashunian Archipelago), Nethrysis was driven back into the Ever-Tide, and was lost to all memory for thousands of years. However, his evolution continues, and the new land dwellers are beginning to feel his influence. It is only a matter of time before Nethrysis rises and exacts vengeance on the supposed goddess of the sea.

Divine Domains

Nethrysis represents the following domains (although others that are similar may be allowed)
1) The Sea: Nethysis, much like his archnemesis, represents the ocean and all things in it.
2) The Tides: Thanks to Bel'thazorn's connection to the 4 moons of Zycore, Nethrysis has taken over the representation of the tides
3) Evolution: The only reason why Nethrysis exists is because of the natural process of evolution, and thus many of his followers believe in the changes to come
4) Self-worth: Many of those that follow Nethrysis must prove themselves worthy of the "deities" powers, as the ocean is an unforgiving place, as are the creatures that live within it
5) Rage: Much like it's "father", Nethrysis seaths with anger, and thus instills that emotion in all of his tenets of faith

Tenets of Faith

Nethrysis' Tenets of Faith are as follows:
1) Prove Yourself: In life, one must prove oneself worthy of the gifts of life offered or gifted by the aspects of creaton. Without proof, one only sinks to the bottom, left behind by those that ascend
2) Change is the only way: If one is continue on in life, one must be willing to accept and embrace the changes that will always come, regardless of their nature.
3) Vengeace and Rage: For those that wrong you, or have ever wronged you, must suffer the consequences. No one in life can pursue greatness through forgiveness.
