Faru'ash

Faru'ash grew up in an Gozren orphanage in a coastal town, after his parents vanished in a raid by cultists of the demon lord Dagon. Life in the orphanage was safe enough, but loud and busy. Faru'ash often found solace by slipping away into the ocean, farther out than any of the human children would find him; the other undine children were mostly quieter, and didn't bother him as much.

On one of these excursions, he discovered the reason that the oldest parts of the main church in the orphanage only depicted Gozreh the Wind: a second chapel beneath the water, perched on an undersea hill, was dedicated to Gozreh the Waves. There had once been a causeway connecting the dual chapels, but the death of Aroden collapsed the causeway, sank the mountain, and caused the sea level to rise, swallowing the water chapel. At least, so said the ancient undine priest Radir maintaining the now-underwater altar, who had heard it from his great-aunt, the previous caretaker, who had been a novice during the Fall.

During his time in the water chapel, Faru'ash met the undersea portion of the community: undines, aquatic elves, and merfolk, who mostly remained hidden from the surfacers. In service to Gozreh the Waves, Faru'ash found the peace that had been torn from him by the mad cult of Dagon. But he never forgot what he had lost. Today he seeks to cleanse the world of the foul, mutated works of the demon lord.
