Water Lion

Water Lion is an enigmatic Demi God and a member of the Asathalfinare pantheon.

Tenets of Faith

Water Lion adheres to no known set of beliefs or doctrines. Typically unresponsive to attempts at communication, he remains singularly focused on his ceaseless quest. Nonetheless, he holds a fondness for music and may show favor to a bard who entertains him, possibly rewarding them with a pearl or salvaged treasures from the depths.
Intermittently, Water Lion experiences periods of melancholy, during which it is unwise to approach him. He may react fiercely to any who venture too close. Only paladins, dolphins, and sea elves are tolerated in these moments, and even they must maintain silence if they wish to approach. During these bouts, Water Lion sheds tears that possess healing properties akin to potions of extra-healing. However, imbibers may also experience a share of Water Lion's melancholy, accompanied by peculiar and prophetic dreams.

Given the enigmatic nature of his goals and intentions, numerous myths have arisen to speculate on his purpose. Some suggest that he roams in search of a lost child or a companion deity, like Stillsong, to whom he remains loyal.
