Ilit, the Goddess of Seas and Storms also control the most water bodies on land such as rivers and lakes, and is known to be a cruel mistress. She is often depicted by her clergy as a proud woman with long flowing blue hair with various types of sea shells as ornaments. Depending on the region, she is also portrayed as a wrathful mermaid wielding a trident.

Dogma The Empress of the Depth is the most prone to anger and wrath among all of the deities of Callyria. However, all must fear her wrath for the vast ocean is her domain and the storms hear her command. Offerings and sacrifices should be made to her to appease her hunger for destruction and sufferings. However, she is also kind at times to allow people to feed from the rivers and seas, and to calm storms that would have devastated cities and villages built by the coastline. Fickle and restless, one should nevertheless remember that as much as she could cause great destruction, she is also capable of nurturing life.

Clergy and Temples Priesthood of the Empress of the Depths usually wear ceremonial scale armour that is acquired by slaying various sea serpents. She demands that sacrifices are made to her (living sacrifices such as lambs or material offerings to her churches are fine). Her temples are usually great buildings located near the coast line or near large bodies of water, though her priesthood are free to give sermons dedicating to either side of her personality. Her clergy gives quest related to sea exploration.
