God of death, undead, and pirates. Rahn is a reclusive deity who does not actively seek out worshippers. She does not normally bother herself with the affairs of other deities, or even that of mortals. She is inevitable, and does not mind waiting. Rahn is often treated as a superstition among sailors rather than a true deity.

Rahn’s influence is most strongly felt at sea.

She is associated with:

• shipwrecks
• sudden calms or unnatural stillness
• the quiet inevitability of drowning

She does not appear to seek out individual deaths, she merely claims what comes to her.

Animals: Deep sea creatures, particularly those that dwell in darkness
Colors: Deep blue, black, pale green
Objects: Coins, barnacles, broken rigging

Omens and Signs:

• Still water where there should be waves
• A sudden quiet at sea
• Coins appearing where none were placed
• The feeling of being watched from below

Motifs:

• Sunken ships
• Coral-covered structures
• Pale light in deep water

Rahn is not actively worshipped in any organized way. She is largely unknown and at best treated as a rumor someone once heard from their grandmother or an uncle. Her name is mostly associated with myths involving Erefon's exploits or the dead pirate Tanis Dreadwhisper who named her ship Rahn's Fury.

She is invoked:

• by sailors out of superstition
• by pirates about to board a ship
• by those who fear dying at sea

Those who invoke her are more likely trying to invoke the idea of her as presented by Erefon's myths or Captain Tanis, but this still serves as a form of worship.

Rahn does not appear to have formal teachings, but some things have lingered in superstition with their source long forgotten.

Among sailors, common beliefs include:

• The sea takes what it wants
• Some things are better left beneath the water

Rahn has no formal living clergy.

None

None

None

Burial: The dead may be committed to the sea, or buried with coins placed over their eyes.

This is widely practiced as superstition among sailors, whether or not they believe or have even heard of Rahn.

Rahn’s origins are unclear. Some scholars believe she predates modern deities, while others claim she is a remnant of older powers that no longer fully exist.

She is sometimes grouped with forgotten or diminished gods, though this classification is disputed.

• Erefon (article incomplete) – A recurring figure in maritime stories. Said to have repeatedly escaped Rahn after being sunk, even entering her domain and returning alive. Accounts portray her as both hostile and strangely entertained by him
  

#### Other Myths

• Some of Erefon's myths describe Rahn leading raids beyond the mortal world, taking what she pleases from other gods
• Many believe she no longer exists, or may have only existed as a fictional entity within the myths of other gods
