Egua, God of Eyeballs

 


  • Minor deity, worshiped in many small fisherman settlements;
  • Accepts various eyeballs as offering, especially fond of those belonging to large fish and squid;
  • Depicted as large, three-legged bream with 13 eyes;
  • His priests are always male and must be overweight and quite hairy;
  • Each Shrine of Egua has a (supposedly) magical item - an eyeball made of pure gold (powers unknown but it's said that one per year can be used to resurrect a drowned creature); 
  • Egua's fervent followers, as well as his priests, never wash their bodies. Sometimes they even "enhance their odor" by smearing their flesh with fish.

Powers granted by Egua to his followers and priests:

  • Ability to see in murky and/or dark water;
  • Summon the Infernal Carp 3rd level clerical spell (figure it out by yourself);
  • Water breathing;
  • Ability to speak to fish (not much chance to hear something back from 'em); 
  • Ability to cast Blindness once per fullmoon, no saving throw allowed;
  • Restoration of sight or even regrowing lost eyes (5% for growing additional 1d3 eyes);

Curses caused by Egua:

  • Magical whirlpools;
  • Fish-related nightmares;
  • Permanently losing ability to swim;
  • Making all seafood poisonous for the cursed one;
  • Blindness;
  • Brown Eye Maggot infestation;
  • Horrible stench of rotting fish;
  • One or both eyes transformed into rectums.

Enjoy!
