Omar (Oh-mar)

As god of the sea, Omar is slightly estranged from his fellow Gods, choosing to dwell deep within the great oceans of the world rather than upon the land or in the heavens. It is said that, instead he makes the creatures of the oceans his friends and companions. Because of the time and care he has shown to the creatures of the deep ocean, coupled with his personal power and majesty, Omar is said to rule over the oceans and that all the sea creatures are bound to his will.
It is said by some that the sea itself is bound by Omar's emotions and that it is important to honour him before taking a voyage, lest his temperamental mood cause dangerous waves that sink ships to the depths below. Others say that the sea itself is a different entity, and that Omar has the power to calm down the temperamental beast if provided with the right motivation to in the form of offerings. In either case, it is seen as near compulsory to honour Omar before taking a sea voyage.

Divine Symbols & Sigils

Omar's main symbol is a wave, although many of his temples and shrines are also decorated by other sea-themed imagery such as shells. Omar is said to at times to visit those who sail upon the seas in the form of a dolphin, an agile and intelligent creature both graceful and surprisingly deadly, much like the sea itself.
