Nagas Jehralvath

“It is a curious situation that the sea, from which life first arose should now be threatened by the activities of one form of that life. But the sea, though changed in a sinister way, will continue to exist; the threat is rather to life itself.”
-Nagas Jehralvath
== History ==
Nagas Jehralvath is the high priest of Deep Sashelas, and a powerful and revered figure in Atlantis. Raine despises him and dreams or replacing the Church of the Deep with the cult of Olhydra, but Jehralvath is cautious and well-protected. Jehralvath is one of the few powerful figures who dares to say that Raine is not the true heir to the Throne of Atlantis. This, along with the fact that the Holy Council considers him a permanent representative of Atlantis, enrages Raine to no end. For the time being, the King has reached a truce with the High Priest, recognizing that even if Jehralvath despises him, he still serves the interests of Atlantis as a nation.
Jehralvath was part of a cult of the Great Old Ones during his youth, seeking true wisdom from them, but he experienced a religious epiphany that prompted him to flee and join the Church of the Deep.
== Personality ==
Jehralvath is a cautious and contemplative figure who inspires great respect, and keeps his cards close to his chest. He is a believer in the notion that often taking no action is the best course of action, and that time is on the side of the prudent side. This is not to say that he is utterly passive, but when he does chose to act, he is as discreetly and as precisely as possible. Jehralvath despises King Raine, but puts up with him for the sake of unity. He acts as a balance to whichever Captain of the Raine Knights represents Atlantis alongside him at the Holy Council, such that the Captain is considered to be a representative of King Raine, while he is considered a representative of Atlantis as a whole. 
== War of the Philosopher-Kings ==
Nagas Jehralvath would do little during the war, other then ensure stability and order in the kingdom. His thoughts were not on the war itself, but what would happen afterwards. To this end, he had begun a search for the true heir to the Throne of Atlantis. He would be instrumental in the events of the Lorelei Uprising, for it was he who would find the slain Philoktia, and resurrect her in an attempt to marry her to King Raine. The plan would be successful, granting the Throne to Raine, but backfire when Philoktia betrayed and killed the king, destroying the Throne and rousing the Deep Ones from their slumber. Nagas would survive the chaos and attempt to rally the survivors from the capital. He would perish not long afterwards at the hands of monsters from the depths. Category:Triton
