Description

Boreas is a powerful figure with skin the color of storm clouds, ranging from pearl-gray to thunderous black. His hair and beard are made of living lightning and wind, and his eyes flash with storm energy. His massive wings create weather patterns with each movement.

Tempestuous and proud, Boreas embodies the raw power of storms and sky. His voice rolls like thunder. He shows respect for those who brave the elements while punishing those who take them lightly.

The Sea-Born Family

As father of the Sea-Born Family and husband to Nerissa, Boreas rules the sky as she rules the sea. Together they create the weather patterns that shape the world, their union reflected in every storm that sweeps across the ocean.

His children each carry aspects of his nature - Anar's changeability, Civara's bridging of realms, and Lyrios's voice that carries across the waves all echo their father's power over wind and change.

Divine Purpose

Boreas rides the wind between sea and sky, creating and directing storms. He works with Nerissa to maintain the world's weather patterns. His storms can be destructive but also bring the rain that nourishes the land.

His worship is common among sailors who pray for fair winds, though they also make offerings to appease his wrath. His temples are built on exposed heights where the wind blows strongest, and his priests read omens in the patterns of clouds and storms.
