Gods of Ithia: Zale Lady of Salt and Sorrow

Zale: Goddess of Romance, Oceans, Storms, Hurricanes, and Ships. 

Known across the plane as Zale, The Lost Lover, The Tide Bringer, The Rose of the Sea, Lady of Salt and Sorrow, The Lady Scorned, The Voyager, The Seaglass, and The Storm Bringer. 

Her Symbol is The Love and Lost – A heart-shaped ship at full mast.  

Zale is the beauty of every first love, the glance of some distant beauty that makes your heart flutter. She is love that span lifetimes of happy marriages. She is portrayed in statues as a young maiden with long golden braids, porcelain skin, and eyes that hold back the sea. Her face is always half shadowed with storm clouds. 

Zale, a passive goddess, lost her lover to her enemy Vexia Katar, who stole and hid him away. She is in mourning but when roused her wrath and temper is outright terrifying. Few Gods are willing to try her as she can drown continents and wipe out their petty playthings on a whim. She grants her divine servants the power to foresee lovers, sooth emotions, and enter dreams. They can command storms, calm or enrage seas, hasten ships, walk on water, and breath underwater.
