Practiced mainly in the Ierendi region, and in areas where you can find the Makai, this is sometimes referred to as the “Ocean Path”. While it is a racial pantheon, they happily include members of any race or background who are willing to follow their faith.

The Ocean Path – Elendaen

The philosophy expresses the belief that the ocean is the cradle of life; it encourages her followers never to abuse the sea and its resources.​

This religion is mostly concerned with: Adventure, Beauty, Cleverness, Elves, Hunting, Liberty, Oceans, Protection and Travel. This is based on the immortal pantheons patronage which also covers the rest as aspects of the belief structure. I have highlighted anything shared between at least two of the immortal patrons.

I had organically planned a random table for using with NPC priest of the religion, but it became to difficult to maintain when making changes to the pantheon. For a random domain, roll % twice, first to see rarity of domain and second to see which domain in selected.

01-47% – Common

48-98% – Uncommon

99-00% Rare

Makai – Patron to Pantheon Links – This is to be the basis on who is in what Pantheon and why.
