Sekolah

The Great Shark, the Joyful Hunter, the Caller from the Depths

Sekolah is a powerful god and the primary deity worshipped by the Sahuagin race, as well as Carcharion.
Sekolah resembles a 35-foot long great white shark. He likes to hunt giant squids and other prey that he finds suitably challenging.
Sekolah is a rapacious monster who cares nothing, one way or the other, for any race but the Sahuagin. Deep Sashelas hates him in particular, however.
The Great Shark permits the sahuagin to form temporary pacts with other evil deities; he cares little as long as he continues to receive regular sacrifices from his priestesses.
Temples to Sekolah are built of stone or coral. The most humble temples, built by Sahuagin in exile, are little more than rude caves. The greatest are decorated with mosaics of sharks and Sahuagin dancing joyfully, decorated with seashells, mother-of-pearl, and actual pearls and featuring windows made from crystal.
A large bowl, ideally built beneath a statue of Sekolah, is used for offerings and divination. There are chambers for the priestesses to dwell in, barracks for the guards, eating halls, and libraries filled with shells and tablets inscribed with sacred texts and eel-hide scrolls bearing the history of the settlement.

Tenets of Faith

Sekolah represents uncaring force and brutality. He is also a fertility god. The vast majority of Sekolah's worshipers are Sahuagin, although members of the aquatic, formally human race known as the aventi are sometimes also seduced by his promises of power.
Sekolah's priests, who are all female, wear gray-white colors. Their favored weapon is the trident. They lead raiding parties and take their choice of the spoils after the nobles have had their share. The shark-god is worshipped in natural caverns at the highest and lowest tides. Sahuagin sacrifice both defeated enemies and valuable jewellery to Sekolah whenever possible, the priests officiating at these rituals. Sekolah's church follows a rigid, tyrannical hierarchy in which status is determined through ritual combat.
The Jaws of Sekolah is an order of Sahuagin blackguards that spreads terror throughout the seas in the name of their patron. The Jaws of Sekolah were once led by the legendary cleric known only as the Red One.
