Clados
The Surface One · The Traveler · From the Lands to the Seas
Always going somewhere. Usually downhill.
Clados is the goddess of lakes and rivers in the Church of Meh. Clados is named for one of the most widespread fungal families on Earth, which suits a goddess who gets everywhere. Clados runs over the land, through the stone, and out into the sea, and has never once taken the direct route.
There were Phomos and Clados, who became the god of the oceans, and the goddess of lakes, and rivers. Their moods are tidal. Their patience is geological. They have never once been in a hurry, and they find the urgency of land-dwelling things faintly amusing.
