Oseos the Leviathan-Keeper

The eternal rival of Shoei the Light-Taker, Oseos is the Marore god said to watch over the darkest pits of Minlorem's oceans. Legend claims that Oseos was once a mortal Marore, one who tended a farm in the depths. When Shoei stole the light from the oceans, however, his crop withered and died, and the livestock he kept were set upon by monstrous creatures from beyond the blackness; the Ocean's Teeth, Karakta, Ahaune, and Ipiki. Though Oseos would beat the beasts back every night, they would return as each day's last light faded. Oseos blamed Shoei for his misfortune, swearing his revenge on the goddess. Eventually, Oseos fell to the monsters, unable to withstand their onslaught.
As Oseos fell, however, the beasts found themselves driven away from the desolate farm that he had died defending. From the Marore's corpse, a glimmering figure appeared, and chased them further into the depths than they had ever known before. This creature of light, legends claim, was Oseos' soul, given the power and might of a god by Shoei, the very being he cursed. Though legends differ as to what happened once Oseos drove the Teeth back, all Marore note with relief their lack of appearances in recorded history.
Oseos' Oracles are the most common bearers of the Friendless curse.
==Appearance==
Common depictions of Oseos paint him as the polar opposite of Shoei: Where her body is devoid of all light but her eyes, Oseos is shown as a Marore composed entirely of brilliant white light, save for his void-like eyes. The Kama clutched in his tail is said to be a relic of his farming life, transformed into a weapon by his sheer willpower to fight the Teeth back.
==Godmark==
Oseos' Godmark appears as a faint glow surrounding its bearer, often some shade of white or yellow. This glow is visible in any lighting condition, and appears to pulse softly in time to the bearer's heartbeat. Most disconcertingly, the glow ignores anything around the bearer, and can often be seen through whatever is nearby, be it living or not.
Those Godmarked by Oseos gain +2 to Intimidate and attack when fighting against monsters or intelligent animals. This bonus only applies when the bearer is attempting to defend something other than themselves.
