Other Deities
Rán is an outlier in the Strandlands. The Interloper Goddess doesn't have any official temples or (known) shrines dedicated to her in the region. However, she is popular with many sailors up and down the coastal lands of the continent. Most pirate captains keep a shrine to her on their ships. Rán is CN and is a Goddess of Seas, Storms, Thieves, Wind, and the Drowned.
While Rán is not considered to be a member of the Pantheon of the North, she is connected to them through her husband
Aegir who is a member of the North Gods. Some believe it is only a matter of time before Rán, as well as their
Nine Daughters, are brought into the pantheon.
