Salashir

Salashir, also known as Saash, Graag, or the God of Rivers, is a god that made its home on Galimma and created the Marine Kind. Salashir was an amphibious being that was attracted to worlds with substantial bodies of water, though preferring unfrozen freshwater. It would make a permanent home of Galimma, eventually coming to hide within Subterra from the god-slaying Gaulmar.

History
Salashir was one of many god-like creatures born from the liquid moons of Saszoth. Though safe for a time from the saltwater depths of the core world, Salashir was quick to flee the oceanic world and take to the cosmos. Salashir traveled far across the stars, but often craved the soothing embrace of water, thus leading them to many worlds with rivers and lakes to rest within. This led the amphibious god to the world of Galimma, a young and unspoiled world with plentiful water to live within and mana to drink from. Salashir would choose this world as a permanent home, favoring the freshwater haven of the Springlands, and go on to create the Sepiki and other Marine Kind.

Saash of Subterra
During the Second Era, the Gaulmar Empire would enact their grand conquest of Galimma, and slay many of the gods that had made a home of the world. Salashir and his people were targeted by the empire, seen as interlopers upon Galimma, and were to be slain. Salashir took a handful of his closest followers into the depths of Subterra to hide from the wrath of the Gaulmar. Eventually Salashir's children would come to be known as the Sulara, and they would name their god-in-exile Saash. Saash would rest near the surface, at the fountain of the Styge River, a vast source of freshwater for the denizens of Subterra. Into the modern day long after the fall of the god-slaying empire, Saash and the Sulara remain under the surface of Galimma, too changed to return to the surface where the sun may harm them.
