Writings of the Deepwater Knights
The blessing of Prexus are many.
We are given the waters of the sea to carry our ships so that we might travel across our world.
We are given the fish that live within the ocean to feed us.
We are given his divine strength, which guides and protects us.
And we were given the order of the Deepwater Knights, which serves to defend and protect the city of Erudin, and the knowledge it contains.
Many in Erudin value knowledge over faith, believing their strength lies in their studies.
Study is good. It challenges you, brings you to discovery and insight.
But what are these things without the blessing of Prexus to guide you in their use?
Do you not teach the student to use his spells effectively?
Do you not teach the trainee to handle his sword correctly?
Without this guidance, even the simplest of spells can become dangerous.
Prexus offers us guidance in all things.
We can learn to use our knowledge more effectively, and become not like the student, but like the master.
This guidance is one of his many blessings to us.
But it is not only to us that Prexus gives blessings.
There are other creatures that he showers with his grace.
From the mots humble of fish in the sea, to the largest of sea beasts, Prexus watches them all.
There are times when he will choose such a creature to act as his Chosen in Norrath.
This creature is granted power, and is whispered to directly from Prexus himself.
As we do the will of Prexus, so does the creature, although only it knows what tasks it is commanded to do.
The word of Prexus is everywhere in Norrath.
The sea touches all lands, and thus so does the domain of Prexus.
As in the case of Velious, where the Deepwater Knights have no temples, yet Prexus has power there.
The blessed creature among the icy waters of Velious would await his commands, As the Chosen of Prexus, it would watch over teh domain of Prexus unto its own death.
Thus a new Chosen would be selected, and the cycle would begin again.
Hail be to Prexus and the gifts he gives us all.
