Persana is the triton deity of Architecture, and the patron deity of tritons. In the 1st edition Monster Manual, the god of the tritons is called simply 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.
