Dimo
Dimo is known for his unpredictable and tempestuous nature, often causing storms and rough seas for those who cross him. Despite this, sailors worship him and pray for his protection while at sea, offering sacrifices of gifts in exchange for safe voyages.
His followers believe that he has the power to calm the waters and bless their fishing endeavors. They also believe that he is the one who controls the tides and that it is his will that determines the success or failure of their voyages.
In Illios, Dimo is depicted as a large, muscular man with blue-green skin and a beard of seaweed. He is often shown holding a trident or a conch shell, symbols of his power over the sea.
Temples dedicated to Dimo are found along the coastlines and on islands, and are often staffed by priests and priestesses who are adept at divination and weather control. It is said that a blessing from a Dimo priest can bring good luck and protection during a sea voyage.
Despite his chaotic nature, Dimo is considered to be a fair deity and will not harm those who show respect and devotion to him. However, those who disrespect the sea or its creatures will face his wrath in the form of tempests and shipwrecks.
