He is the grim, merciless deity (LN) responsible for both favorable tides and terrible tsunamis. To worship him is not to send prayers in times of trouble or thank him for good fortunes. He scoffs at such prayers. His doctrine is simple. He favors those who make dutiful sacrifices and act with mental clarity and boldness in times of duress. Among landlubbers, he is more often associated with strength and death than waves or tides.Alcaban is depicted as a muscular man rising from the ocean, holding a sword and a string of fishes. He considers albatrosses sacred, and superstitious sailors associate many more birds, beasts and fishes with him. His devout tend to jeer at humanistic faiths or ideas. His clerics are welcome on any ship, but are unpopular onshore because their beliefs often make them callous or even cruel.</blockquote>
