'''Persana''' is the [[triton]] deity of Architecture, and the patron deity of tritons. In the first edition ''Monster Manual'', the god of the tritons is called simply [[Wikipedia:Triton (mythology)|Triton]]. His symbol is a trident and conch.

==Description==
Persana appears as a green-skinned, muscular, 10 foot tall triton bearing a lark pink and green conch. He wears leather armor made out of sharkskin and is armed with a magical trident.

==Relationships==
Persana cooperates readily with other sea gods to reach agreements concerning division of territories for the somewhat xenophobic tritons. He is a member of the [[asathalfinare]].

He will act as a servitor for greater gods of the sea if he believes this to be in his people's interest.

==Realm==
Persana lives on the [[Elemental Plane of Water]] in a realm called ''Shelluria'', which was formally the realm of [[Eadro]]. Eadro's proxies summoned him to look after their realm after their own god's disappearance. Persana was formerly a wandering deity.

==Dogma==
Persana cares little for anything but the development of his chosen people. 

==Worshippers==
Persana is worshipped mainly by tritons.

===Clergy===
Triton priests are ministers of justice at courts, architects of undersea cities, or battle leaders. Architects and builders have the highest status in triton society.

==Myths and legends==
Persana is said to have created the triton race out of magically treated water from a fountain on the Elemental Plane of Water.
