Aler'Avaczeth

All wupani believe in Aler'Avaczeth without question. It is a comfort before a long voyage to make small sacrifices of coins, fishheads or other scraps. It is a name to curse after misfortune. It is a ear to plead into if a loved ones' ship has not put into port on their scheduled arrival.
