==Known Gods and Divine Beings==

'''Oghma, God of Knowledge'''

''The Scribe, Master of Lore, Keeper of the Scrolls''

Patron of scribes, scholars, and teachers. Oghma is said to have given mortals the gift of writing, and treasure knowledge above all else. His priests are universally literate, and usually work as scribes, loremasters, sages, and bookbinders in addition to being clergy.

'''Protius, God of the Sea'''

''The Old Man of the Sea, the Spuming Nooga''

Protius is seen as both a mighty sea dragon and a great whale. He is the patron of sailors and of the sea, and is wholly unconcerned with the land. All sailors revere him, regardless of their other beliefs, and call upon him for blessings. Rare is the ship that will depart from port without making a small offering to Protius. His clergy are few in number, but all are expert sailors and carpenters.

'''Tritherion, God of Freedom'''

''The Summoner''

The god of Individuality, Liberty, Retribution, Ambition and Self-Defense. His holy symbol is the Rune of Pursuit, a triskelion. They dedicated themselves to Trithereon in his aspect as the god of Ambition. His rites include an annual individual quest (like a modern day scavenger hunt with added religious incantations and rituals) that starts with a 24 hour waking fast - with Trithereon granting a vision of the items to be acquired during the proceeding week to complete the quest.

'''Aita-Bai, God of the Dead'''

''Shepherd of the Lost, the Necromancer''

A foreign god of the strange Nekai people, Aita-Bai is little known in Freeport. He is a patron of death and the dead, and also of arcane magic.

'''The Eye of Naan'jaala'''

The Eye is a great waterspout that can be seen reaching up to the heavens on the windward side of the Reach several times a year. The minotaurs of the Reach believes it is the breath of the Great Dragon, a prominent figure in their pantheon. It is believed that a message from the Great Dragon issues forth on its roar, but even the elders who speak the draconic tongue cannot decipher what that message might be, but it is known that the salt miners of the kobold villages religiously transcribe the messages on scrolls of shark vellum.

'''Valielur, the Deepest Lord'''

In the beliefs of the Teyrannel sea elves, Valielur is a titanic, immortal sea serpent that swims the lowest reaches of the ocean, the ultimate apex predator of the sea. Teyrannel commit the bodies of the dead to the deep, believing that through the chain of life they will ultimately become part of the flesh of Valielur. They don't worship it per se but regard it with a sort of religious awe -- the spirits of the Teyrannel are taken up by the gods, but Valielur will ultimately devour all the world.
