Anar, Elemental Lord of Water

Anar is the Elemental Lord of Water. He was created by Valazar in the First Era, and currently resides in the Elemental Plane of Water.

Anar is enemies with Vocan.

Creation of Somara
Anar was created by Valazar in the First Era. Anar is responsible for the creation of the primal element water and for filling Somara's seas and oceans.

During the First Era, he warred with his Elemental Lord brethren for for influence over Somara. Fearing that their wars would eventually destroy or seriously damage the world, Neket attempted to impose order on the Lords. This failed, however, and they all split into two beings: the Lords, who were pushed to embody the chaotic side of their element, and the Elemental Goddesses, who embody the more orderly aspect. Asur is the ordered counterpart of Anar, and the two have a friendly relationship, often working in tandem to control Somara's waters.

Appearance
When Anar appears in mortal form, or on other planes of existence, he typically takes the form of an older, well-built, blue-skinned triton. He typically has long white hair and a beard, and his skin tends to be crusted with barnacles. He typically wears little in the way of clothing, often appearing bare-chested, likely a consequence of the fact that he always appears to be wet or damp. He carries a long, three-pronged trident in one hand, and a folded fishing net in the other.

Personality
Anar tends to be calm, but when provoked, has a wild temper. Conversation with him can be very tiring, as he tends to say whatever comes to mind, resulting in long-winded responses that wind all over the place and rarely deliver satisfying answers. Possibly because of his penchant from quickly moving from one idea to the next, Anar can be quite forgetful, making him frustrating to deal with on occasion.

Worship
Anar is revered primarily by aquatic creatures, such as the Triton, Marids, Merfolk, Sahuagin, and Locathah, and clerics of the Nature Domain can often be found among these races' communities. Anar sometimes receives worship from sailors and residents of coastal cities who rely on the seas to survive, but in general, those people are more likely to worship Asur instead.

Some monks of the Way of the Four Elements revere Anar, but do not generally worship him.
