Religions :: Osse Osse, Rainlord and Master of Water, is god of Water, spring, and the oceans of the realm. Legend tells of him appearing as a large figure of water striding on land, without losing form or cohesion. More often, he offers signs of his presence as an unexpected, localized rainfall. Also, plants, particularly flowering ones, that spring forth from barren ground are said to be a sign of Osse, in his aspect of Spring. As all the elemental deities, Osse remains neutral in the strife between gods. He does not seem to care much for any affairs of mortals, save for those who dwell within or near the water. Fishermen are said to be under his protection, save they honor the sea and do not overharvest. His rather taciturn nature is given over to a more joyous one, though still somewhat somber, in the season of spring. The Master of Water wakes the earth and again stirs life up from its dormant winter sleep. The many rains during spring are said to be Osse's sign of affection for this time of year. The Rainlord's symbol is a stylized drop of water, point up. Alternatively, those Ossean followers who follow the ocean aspect honor the symbol of a stylized cresting wave. A particularly ancient sect of those who worship Osse pray to him as the Navigator, whose signs are the compass rose and a ship's wheel. Osse accepts worshippers of any alignment, provided they understand the importance of Water. Allowed worshipper alignments: any
