Akamos was an elven deity who presides over the seas and storms of Ucril.

## Personality

Akamos' personality is derived from what his lands represent, he is an ever-changing deity that sways like the tide. To those who respect his domain and treat it with care, he sends winds of divine favor to encourage them, and places baleful storms in the paths of those who don't. To his most loyal of followers, Akamos provided love and care they could drown in, often he would come to their aid in times of need.

Akamos was often seen as a romantic as well, deeply in love with Lumis, the Lady of the Moon. His waves and stirring clouds resonated in the minds of his followers of being his hand trying to reach up to Lumis.

## Description

### Avatar

Akamos often took the appearance of a Sea Elf with blue skin that glimmered like the sun rays upon the sea bed. He wrapped himself in olden elf clothing, often finely woven silk in the form of a cloak and long toga. He carried with him a ever changing mass of water, that formed to his desire, whether it be a weapon or creature.

Manifestations of Akamos' avatar are often accompanied by supernatural ocean currents and waves or great storms.

### Manifestations

Akamos was known to appear to his worshipers in three different ways:

* A storm cloud that bellowed like a whale and stretched to the sea floor through a whirlpool like a spire. This manifestation was often used to signify great danger.
* A massive glowing Eden Jelly that offered sanctuary and direct commune to those who entered.
* A shimmering outline of a figure in heavy rain. This was considered an incredible blessing by the Church of Akamos, often praised as being the closest one could be to Akamos.

## Worshipers

Akamos was primarily worshiped by the sea elves, as he was the patron deities associated with elves naturalistic adaptations, especially those of the sea. In costal settlements Akamos often had churches built in his worship, these would usually be directly connected to the ocean, allowing Akamos to let his presence flow throughout the floors and walls of the church. In underwater settlements, sea elves often had trouble building temples from the ground up, and rather preffered open worship hours in their settlements and often devoted large gathering places to it.

Worship of Akamos was often a constant endeavor, as followers were expected to keep the skies and depths clean as to not tarnish their lord. Worshippers often also preached about sustaining the gift of Akamos, and lead endeavors to cull invasive or harmful creatures to sustainable levels.

### Holy Symbols

There was a variety of ways to conjure the divine magic of Akamos, but one particular method was that of a Flow Catcher. It was a staff made by worshippers of Akamos with a long rod horizontal on the top. From the rod dangled jewel laden leathers that blew in the wind or tides where Akamos' presence was strong.

### Relics

Akamos was known to have a few Holy Relics. Often these would be in possession of the Churches, however he did have Relics he granted only his most devout.

* The Great Divide: A double bladed scimitar that was balanced in a way only his priests could understand. It was said to be a representation of the destructive and life-giving sides of the ocean.
* The Shape of Water: A hand sized ball of water that formed to the desires of followers who held it.

## Relationships

### His Followers

Akamos is very engaged with his followers compared to other deities, especially those of elven kind. He is very receptive to offerings bestowed upon him and prayers in his name.

### Ereanous

As a child of the elven creator deity, Ereanous, Akamos is very thankful for his important role in elven culture. While Akamos is often left to his own devices, he does ultimately serve under Ereanous as most elven deities do.

### *Akenos*

Due to Akamos receiving the large part of the stick by their father's decree, his relation with his brother Akenos has always been jaded. Akenos often receding into the depths to avoid conversation with Akamos. During arguments with eachother, the sea is prone to being more unstable, often causing numerous wrecks.

### Lumis

Being so far away from Lumis, Akamos longs for the day his sky may reach Lumis. He knows it would be nearly impossible to do so, but he still tries.
