Olhydra the Princess of Evil Water

August 1, 2022

Another of the Archomentals, Olhydra is the Archomental of Evil Water. She is possibly the closest of all of the archomentals to becoming a true deity, given her diverse array of worshipers.

October 1, 2018

Persana is the creator and patron of the tritons, having sculpted them from elemental water and breathed life into them. He is known as one of the greatest architects of the multiverse, having designed a wide variety of wonders throughout the planes.

Nearly insane, Blibdoolpoolp is patron of the declining subterranean race of kuo-toa.

Eadro the Deliverer

March 1, 2018

It took me a little while to decide what exactly Eadro represented, as he was described simply as the patron of the merfolk and the locathah.

Ilxendren the Demonray

July 2, 2017

Ilxendren was originally introduced in the 2nd Edition boxed-set adventure Night Below, along with the subterranean fresh water variant of the ixitxachitl, the ixzan.
