Persana (pur-SAN-uh)

Persana, revered as the creator-god among the tritons, remains shrouded in mystery to many beyond their race. Those acquainted with him often perceive him as a deity associated solely with construction and guardianship, a perception cultivated by the enigmatic aura that surrounds both Persana and his triton devotees. Within the Asathalfinare pantheon, an assembly of benevolent aquatic deities, Persana holds a significant position.

Myths and legends

According to lore, Persana is credited with the formation of the triton race, fashioned from magically treated water drawn from a fountain situated within the Elemental Plane of Water.

Divine Symbols & Sigils

Clergy, Temples and Worshippers

The tritons, akin to the ixitxachitl, constituted a fully theocratic society. Nearly all members maintained a link to Persana's religious domain, with numerous underwater cities erected in his honor by devout followers. Persana's clergy exhibited a willingness to assist adherents of diverse beliefs, a sentiment shared by the deity himself, provided such collaboration proved advantageous to the triton community.
Within triton culture, priests fulfilled multifaceted roles, serving as arbiters of justice in legal proceedings, masterminds behind the construction of subaquatic metropolises, and commanders on the battlefield. Among these roles, architects and builders occupied the highest echelons of societal esteem.
