Olhydra is the name given to his warlock patron by [[Castaway]], a half-elf with very idiosyncratic beliefs and the self proclaimed "Sea Elf of Saltmarsh". | |||
The name is mentioned only very briefly, in the post-captivity works of Comte [[Elegravain]] Meliagrace d'Valcroix of Odessa. Although primarily composer by profession, a scarcity of funds forced him to write a quick-turnaround adventure travelogue. In this work, [[....]], he describes his time as a reluctant adventurer and recalls encounters with a variety of characters, [[Castaway]] among them. | |||
In his notes this "Sea Elf" claims to have been orphaned and raised by the [[Seafolk]] and taught the ways of water, the flow of Olhydra. | In his notes this "Sea Elf" claims to have been orphaned and raised by family of fae creatures known as the[[Seafolk]] and taught the ways of water, the flow of Olhydra. The name "Olhydra" appears in no other Mainland sources, although there are many accounts of those with a similar set of Patron-granted powers attributed to other Patrons. | ||
[[Elegravin]] recounts a conversation with [[Castaway]] thusly: | |||
''For starters, Olhydra while often referred to as "she" is more a colloquial term and not the name of a "God/Goddess" or singular entity more so that Olhydra is water, is life, and in so is all of us. Thus Olhydra is not a God so much as the "God within" all living things. A primal universal force older than even the [[Eight Makers]] themselves, who pushed back the universal waters and tides of Olhydra to create the bubble that contains our world.'' | ''For starters, Olhydra while often referred to as "she" is more a colloquial term and not the name of a "God/Goddess" or singular entity more so that Olhydra is water, is life, and in so is all of us.
