Gonna keep answering with stuff from my previous WIP.

Yes! The sea has three "Aspects", deities representing the different ways in which people regard the ocean. The manner of worship varies. They all live at sea but can go almost anywhere quickly.

Day 16. Oceanic deities?

Posideon.

Did somebody say OCEAN

The Boiling Seas are not very pleasant to swim in. Thus, reasoned the ancients, no sane god would have made them. Vedova is the widow-goddess of sailors, to whom they pray to be *spared* the Seas, and make it back home again.

We haven't fleshed out the full pantheon of sea or Island based religions/spiritualities yet, but we do know there is a primordial god or two lurking in those waters and (1/2)

No seaside scenes yet. However the sea (Specifically the Sapphire Isles) plays a major role in one character's backstory. It is one of the most diverse areas we created politically.

Blue Horizon takes place 100,000 years in the future. Thus-far in TPATA + in the drafts I've written, I do not have ocean[-only] gods.

HOWEVER... Among major Gods, they have a gay river god pair, while their moons' goddess (the Ninth Goddess) DOES have oceanic domain.

Will do #SeptemberWorldbuilders starting with Week 3! :3

Have tons of seaside snippets for Blue Horizon. I have too much [first] drafted for later Blue Horizon books, so here's one I found fastest.

Alejandro unfortunately changes due to how magical puberty works in their world, but he's obv here:

There's Biher the sturdy lord of the seas & oceans. A black-skinned elder with long gray dreadlocks, garments of sea silk & fish scales, adorned with cockle shells, white pebbles & seaweed 🧵1/2

The ocean of the Pentagonal Dominion is possessed.

To be more precise, a demon was created hundreds of years ago and his consciousness merged with the ocean and now he can control every aspect of it.

Lord Deep Sea doesn't live *in* the sea. He *is* the sea.

He is curious about humans, has a sense of humor, and can communicate, though it's rare.

#TheDragonblood: Of the Nemorian gods, I haven't really associated any of them with the sea. Amfrobena, goddess of nature and weather, may be our closest.

I haven't decided who the merfolk worship, if anyone. Perhaps they worship Amfrobena as a (part-time) sea goddess.

Narauna is the goddess of the sea from Montridgian mythology. Said to hail from the deepest parts of the Central Sea, myth implies that she & her husband, the sky god Tunir, created the entire continent of Uzura and watch over it from the sea & sky.

Theryl's oceans are ruled by Ure, the goddess of water and performing arts. Legends say that she dwells at the bottom of the sea, forever dancing on her own private stage. The movements of her dance control the tides and currents, which in turn reflect Ure's mood.

Short answer, no. The isekai universe of Mairth has no actual, legitimate deities, though there are various faiths with gods.

Long answer, it technically has aquatic demigods, who live in the abyssal basins, deeper 🧵

Actually, no. The sea is older than the gods

The ryuu of Inenari are some of the few beings comparable to the kitsune in divine power. Ryuu are massive sea serpents resembling oarfish, with shimmering pearlescent scales and long red whiskers. They mostly reside in the ocean around Inenari, where they can control

*cracks knuckles* Time for some more lore!

Undalas is Therrea's goddess of the oceans and seas. Once, she was a goddess of ice that blanketed the whole world, enveloping Therrea (The Earth Mother) and coating the world in a layer of ice.

Hymegos is the ninata associated with the seas surrounding the island of AElit. Like most ninatat, Hymegos lives in Argyros, but he is the one to petition for safe sailing and a good haul when fishing. The "tae'el" is his holy assignment.

Any deities? Nope! But the East Library has strong associations with the sea and engages in almost all of the maritime trade and marine studies in the Library

Technically, South Library as has access to the Southern Coast and has sizable research departments and trade

#SeptemberWorldbuilders …Q'Enmari is not universally adored, and—even according to those who choose to venerate her—she is not seen as perfect. There are those who even believe that she should be disdained or reviled for (as they see it) "stranding" The People on a single island in an endless ocean.
