Poseidon is the volatile deity of the sea.  His mood changes on a whim and is quick to anger.  He is responsible for earthquakes, tidal waves and shipwrecks though if placated he can bring calm seas and a strong wind.   

Dogma

Poseidon makes few moral obligations on his worshippers beyond requiring regular sacrifices, though defiling the seas and the slaughter of horses are certain to bring about the deity’s wrath. 

Clergy

Every Latinian coastal town has a church dedicated to Poseidon.  These churches often serve as horse breeders and stables.  The resident clerics perform monthly sacrifices to ensure that Poseidon remains docile and grants safe voyages to all out on the sea.  They will often hire themselves out as chaplains on sailing vessels as well.  Most of Poseidon’s clerics are capable sailors and navigators.  Poseidon’s clerics robe themselves in blue-green and always carry the trident, the symbol of their faith.
