God of seas and water. Okeanos is son of Arkos and Venari and only brother of Onyxo, who is still part of the pantheon. Because the pantheon limited the amount of gods, no more familiars are mentioned. For the desert tribes, he’s an important god, so every oasis has a shrine blessing him. The only temples can be found in the ports at the bay of Ark’tohl. Because shipping is small in the Emirates, the cult is only lived by some fishermen. His idol consists of a blue painted base and 2 fish statues. | God of seas and water. Okeanos is son of Arkos and Venari and only brother of Onyxo, who is still part of the pantheon.

God of seas and water. Okeanos is son of Arkos and Venari and only brother of Onyxo, who is still part of the pantheon. Because the pantheon limited the amount of gods, no more familiars are mentioned. For the desert tribes, he’s an important god, so every oasis has a shrine blessing him. The only temples can be found in the ports at the bay of Ark’tohl. Because shipping is small in the Emirates, the cult is only lived by some fishermen. His idol consists of a blue painted base and 2 fish statues.
Okeanos in Insaani pantheon
Different than in ark'tohlian religion, Okeanos is descriped as father in some tales. His son should be the god Nereus while he is son of Norae and Nepht'uhl (who are possibly other incarnations of Venari and Arkos). After his wife Naja betrayed him with Saard his wrath is unloading on the azure ocean in form of heavy storms regulary. Naja was punished to keep legonias springs alive for all time so her holy waters are flowing into Okeanos oceans while she's banned from his world.
Okeanos in other mythologies
Ther're several related creatures and supernatural appearances of Okeanos, especially in ocean-related cultures. So, there's the belief, that Okeanos would be main god of all water creatures and possible underwater kingdoms told in old tales. The seamen in Middle Kingdom fear a giant mythic storm in the Azuran Ocean called " The Okeon ", in some viking myths, Okeon is also the name of a giant water dragon, who can eat whole islands. In conclusion, Okeanos is the most known god after the big something with appearance in many cultures.
