Gods of the Deep

The Gods of the Deep have lurked beneath the waves of Ambar's oceans since before land was raised from the sea. These antediluvian horrors and the crazed, barbaric aquatic cultures that worship them poze a serious threat to any vessel that strays into The Deeps.

Garroshesh, The Drowned God

Garroshesh is the Deep god of Undeath, Necromancy, Evil, Ocean, and Hunger. When The Red Mist falls upon a coastal town or blows across the bow of a ship the living become not but prey. Garroshesh is probably the most feared of the Gods of the Deep because he seems to take the most interest in coastal communities. The attacks of his cultists and worshippers on coastal towns is the stuff of whispered legend, and fear of Garroshesh has driven many isolated coastal communities to human sacrifice to forstal his wrath.

Garroshesh' most famous worshippers are The Drowned Captains, a legendary organization of necromancer pirates and their shambling crew.

Serth, The Lurking Death

Serth lurks in the dark places of the ocean floor, stalking prey. Serth is the reason why mothers do not let their children play in the surf after dark. His domains are Darkness, Evil, Shadow, Ocean, and Watery death. Serth has few followers beyond the deadly Chuul, who worship him as their creator god.

The Leviathan

The Leviathan is the Deep God of sea monsters and other such horrors. Its domains are Ocean, Hunger, Feast, and Strength. The Leviathan has few worshippers, but its priests are true terrors, riding into battle atop massive, hungering mounts. The Leviathan is the most straightforward of the Deep Gods, seeking merely to devour.

Yog-Sothoth

Yog-Sothoth lurks far beneath the ocean's waves, performing dark experiments and hoarding forbidden knowledge far from the light of the sun. Its domains are Knowledge, Evil, Ocean, Madness, and Destiny. Yog-Sothoth is worshipped by those who seek forbidden knowledge, though Yog-Sothoth always demands much in return for its secrets. The Incutilis worship Yog-Sothoth, or perhaps are enslaved to its will. They launch raids into surface lands in search of knowledge or simply to eliminate those who know too much. The greatest treasure in the eyes of the Incutilis is to know a secret that is known to no other, and they will kill to achieve this.

The Kuo-Toa also worship Yog-Sothoth, and carry out his mysterious ends.

The Silent King, He Who Must Not Awake, The God of the Abyss, Cthulhu.

Little is known of this antediluvian horror. Cthulhu's priests are rare, usually mad hermits and the grandiosely suicidal. Cthulhu's domains are Madness, Suffering, Tyrant, Watery Death, and Ocean.
