God of the Oceans and Seas True Neutral Nature, Tempest Portfolio: Oceans, waves, tides, sea creatures Temples: Temples to Tiad are built at the shore or on buoys in the oceans, but the water always washes into these temples. The grandest of these temples are built under the waves, incorporating the wreckages of sunken ships.
With the completion of Karn’s structure of the world of Orizon, Tiad stepped forth and unleashed a torrent upon the world, filling it with the waters of the rivers, oceans, and ice. With it, he provided the potential for growth and life upon the dry earth and to take the heat of the molten core. His waters sunk into the stone and sat on top of it and provide for much. He’s become a god of floods and tides as much as the gentle motion of streams.
During the god's war, Tiad twisted the waters into powerful whirlpools and smashing tidal waves, or simply wrapping them up into great floods. The powerful foes, great aberrations, and monsters, Tiad yanked down with great chains of ice and iron. He imprisoned them beneath the depths, gradually crushing them to death under the suffocating weight of an entire ocean.
Tiad is a temperamental being, aloof and mostly unconcerned. He can be prone to placid stretches and kindly gestures and deeply caring. But he is also famously quick to anger and lashing out. He has been known to destroy ships, crushing them with nothing more than the movement of water, seemingly at a whim. But this temperament, like the ocean, conceals hidden depth and there is immense care within Tiad. He may occasionally grant a fisherman an impossible bounty or carry someone stranded safely to their homes on gentle currents.
Tiad’s focus is on the waters of the world, merfolk worship him above all other gods and construct great temples on the ocean floor. Sailors also believe that Tiad specifically left the massive trade routes that connect the continents open to travel for the mortals that sail the seas and wish to keep the world connected. They also believe that there are secret islands in the ocean, kept concealed by Tiad’s currents until he chooses to reveal them.
