Vulkyr

Vulkyr

(Symbol – Gray Trident)

Vulkyr is much worshipped because of his implicit powers of destruction. As the god of storms and seas, he commands the respect, if not outright worship, of all who live in coastal areas. All ships who sail the Western Ocean sacrifice to him before setting out on a voyage, typically by having a priest or navigator or captain slash their arms to let some blood drip into the waves. On a gentler note, inland farmers in need of rain perform a similar rite over their fields.

As gods go, Vulkyr is reckoned as a bluff, hearty fellow in general, but a different side emerges when he feels disrespected or thwarted. Legends are told of his violence and unpredictable actions in such scenarios. Tales are told of ill-omened ships, whose captains sneered at sacrifice, who set up to never be seen again. His creature is the dolphin, and any who harm them, even accidentally, receive his curse.
