The Devourer
Sovereign of Storm and Sea (a.k.a. Shargon)
The ravenous deity of storm and sea, the Devourer represents the destructive side of nature. Brother to Arawai and Balinor, he shares his siblings' influence over the natural world—but if Arawai represents nature tamed to human will, the Devourer is the opposite. When storms sink ships at sea, earthquakes swallow whole towns, or rivers overflow their banks, mortals see the Devourer at work. Sailors appease him with sacrifices thrown overboard when storms approach and at the start of long voyages. The sahuagin worship him as Shargon, whose teeth jut from the sea between Khorvaire and Xen'drik to snare passing ships. The clerics of the Sovereign Host associate other monstrous deities with the Devourer, including the gods of the kuo-toa, troglodytes, and yuan-ti.
