Ran

Fickle and malicious, Ran is the goddess of the oceans, currents, and seas. She is just as often calm and serene as she is violent and tormenting and often without any hesitation as she shifts between the two. She is prideful and fiercely possessive, and she claims the souls of those who drown in her waters instead of allowing Morganos to take them. Sailors and fishermen pray to her to appease her vanity in hopes of soothing her rage. Coastal communities often have glorious shrines dedicated to her in hopes that she will spare them from her wrath.

Ran and her often lover, Tempest, created a maelstrom that destroyed a fleet of ships from the Oleander Throne intended to spread the Allfather to the Moontide Isles, crippling their navies.

She is usually portrayed as a blue-skinned woman with long flowing blue-green hair who wields a massive trident.
