Poseidon
The Greek god of sea, earthquakes, horses, and the unstable power beneath travel.
Legend File
Poseidon rules the sea as both road and threat. Sailors need him, cities fear his earthquakes, and heroes learn that crossing water never means escaping divine attention. His trident makes the ocean personal: a wave, a storm, or a sudden shake in the ground can all feel like the same offended power.
