Followers
Most of his followers come from coastal settlements. This is due to his deep connection with the sea and its unpredictable nature.
The sea, with its ever-changing tides, violent storms, and mysterious depths, mirrors Thal'ran's own erratic and chaotic essence. Coastal inhabitants, who experience the sea's power firsthand, naturally turn to Thal'ran, believing that by honoring him, they might gain favor or protection from the sea's dangers. Moreover, the isolation of coastal settlements allows for the preservation of Thal'ran's esoteric and often forbidden rites, away from the scrutiny and interference of inland authorities who may view his worship as dangerous or subversive. Thus, Thal'ran's worship thrives in these coastal enclaves, where his chaotic influence aligns with the untamed spirit of the ocean. This have contributed to people belive he is a some kind of water god, which he is not. He acts all over Kuarilia.
