Gozreh

Gozreh is an ancient deity, thought to have existed for as long as the wind has blown and the waters swelled. Their faithful are to be found in all places of nature, doing their will as they have for eons. They are counted among one of the original gods that fought against Rovagug in the defence of all creation.

Mythology
Gozreh is a dual-aspect deity. They appear as a colossal humanoid whose lower body trails away into a mass of roiling elemental matter. Her female avatar of the sea merges with water and appears as a young and beautiful woman with wild green hair. The male avatar of the winds and clouds merges with a storm cloud and appears as a weathered old man with a long white beard. Images of Gozreh typically present the two forms reaching up from the sea and down from the heavens to touch one another in midair.

Church
Priests of Gozreh are rugged folk and many are hermits. Men are expected to have long beards and women long hair. Seaweed and natural items are often braided into the hair of the faithful.

Temples of Gozreh are always open to the sky and often contain some sort of pool or open water at the heart. They often appear in out-of-the-way places and are typically built using only slightly worked local materials, such as driftwood and unquarried stone. Services and occasions vary from temple to temple, though most ceremonies involve offerings, prayers and chanting.
