2025 Jun 9: Adan-Imros, Lord of the Waves

 Brother to Atar-Numash, Adan-Imros is the god that rules over all saltwater. He his petty, and can be quite antagonistic, even if he allows humans to fish from his waters. According to myth, he was co-ruling the skies with his brother, but then got banished to only rule the oceans after a drunken rampage, during which he insulted most other gods, and passed out in a pig pen. He retained his dominion over snakes and meteors however, and he is credited with sinking Ei-Lantis when its people unknowingly helped someone he cursed to perish on the waves.

He is often depicted as a bearded man with the lower body of a fish, holding a fisherman's spear. His sacred symbols are the snake eating its own tail, the armor-headed fish, and the seven-spoked wheel, as a representation of a myth where he was challenged to make the best wheel for a chariot race, so he forged the world into a wheel, with the earth being the hub, the sky being the rim, and the seven seas being the spokes.

His holy days are the first weeks in winter and spring, when the sea storms arrive and abate.
