[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 3900736, member: 4936"] Okay, here's a quick rundown on my character so far: Worships: Nimea (Mother Ocean, Sea Mistress, Mother of Us All) Alignment: Neutral Domains: Air, Commerce, Ocean, Storm, Trade, Travel, Water, Weather (from Eberron book rather than Complete Divine, or found on p111 in the Clerical domains document at crystalkeep) Patron goddess of the city state that bears her name; Nimeans believe that Mother Ocean gave them birth and to her all things must go; as her children they are the natural masters of the waves. She can be fickle, hence the superstitious nature of Nimean sailors, and her priests play an important part in the social and political spheres of Nimean life. ---- Party role will be healing and support...eventually I plan on making her a summoner/thaumaturgist focusing on elemental beings of air and water.
