Daesus

Daesus, God of the Sea, Storm and Sky
Daesus is the major god in the human worshiped pantheon, a being of immense power and wrath he is lord of the Sea, Storms and the Sky.

It is not uncommon among the gods of Fascillia to be displayed as physical beings with humanoid bodies, usually bodies similar to the race of those who worshiped them, this is not lacking here.

Daesus is displayed as a young and strong human male possessing the white hair and beard of an elderly man, his eyes are bright white. He wears a Golden breastplate and leather strap skirt. He is often depicted standing, head to the skies, with clenched fists akimbo and lighting crackling behind.

Humankind have come to understand the relationships of the gods quite well over time, for centuries the gods Daesus, Histria, Cassia and Malius have held sway over man and now they have been shared with the world. Daesus and Histria are as husband and wife, strangely the only record of marriage between any of the gods. Their children are Cassia, their beloved daughter, and Malius, their estranged son.

Daesus, if the scholars are to be believed, is a fierce and wild god, prone to outbursts and blind furies. With dominion over the waters and winds of the world there is no end to the destruction he could bring. Daesus has been documented as bringing his victims back to life just to vanquish them once more, so everlasting is his wrath.

Legends say that Daesus once battled Eros, the dragon God of Chaos after being told it was Eros that had gotten his daughter with child (if the monstrosity that had been born to her could be called a 'child'). Their battle took place atop the tallest mountain upon the very peak. So ferocious was their duel that the heat of Eros' fire and the force of Daesus' lightning had melted and morphed the peak into a pool of molten rock, upon seeing their destructive force they agreed to continue their fight far from the material plane to avoid damage to the innocent. This story is likely a fabricated however, as we now know how volcanoes are formed and as such most scholars usually put this story down to being a simple lesson in anger management.

Many Paladins,Clerics and Barbarians profess deep connection to Daesus, we are told this is to be empowered be the God, however it is more likely that it is a scare tactic, for who would want to fight someone so Intense and vengeful. His symbol is that of a white lightning bolt, born of a heavy cloud on a field of grey.
