Followers
of Aegir, mostly sailors and fishermen, are taught to fear the sea god and that the deep oceans are not friendly to those who have failed to appease him. Aegir’s clerics impress upon his worshippers the need to remain stoic, as it will make the loss of friends easier to bear as well as make it difficult for anyone to become emotionally close
Aegir’s
clergy appear as easygoing upright citizens in society. They seem to show genuine concern by emphasizing the necessity of making sacrifices to Aegir before setting out on a sea voyage and they throw elaborate parties in the community feast
halls. This
is until, however, the cleric is crossed or Aegir is otherwise blasphemed at which point the cleric will arrange for the offender to lose his ship in a fire or will somehow be drowned in shallow waters.
Clerics who follow Aegir do not concern themselves with the needs of the community beyond those of sailing and those who approach one of Aegir’s clerics without such concerns are met with stern glances
and curt responses. A pastor ordained into Aegir’s service can be recognized by their long emerald green coats and only those newly ordained do not have beards.
Many also take up brewing as a side profession.
