Kinroy: God of Fishing, Coasts, Marshes, Swamps, Wetlands, and wherever water meets land. 

Known across the plane as Kinroy, The Angler, The Divine Fisher, The River Wader, The Mealbringer, The Master of Meetings, The Linecaster, The Man by the Sea, Lord of the Tides, and The Riverbank. 

Kinroy is a member of the Gods of the Sea, the Gods of the Hunt, the Mountain Gods, and the Gods of the Common. 

Holy Books: The Book of Crowns. 

Kinroy, all the places where water meets land. He is the Tidepool, the Coast, Riverbanks, marshes, and swamps. He is the angler bringing food from the water with hooks, spears, and nets. He is the son of Zale and Dwar’Vic. 

His Symbol is the Hook and Line – A Fishing Hook with a fish on the tip, a line rising up forming a coastline with simple waves reaching it.   

His Celestial Body is the Hook, a constellation in the shape of a fishing hook. It appears only at low tide when Kinroy is strongest. 

Kinroy’s divine plane is a great sea, mostly sandbars, with earth just ankle-deep beneath the surface. A rowboat bobs softly in a deeper section where Kinroy can often be found, line in the depths, wide-brimmed hat over his head, straw in his mouth, with the god fast asleep. The water recedes at low tide, leaving Kinroy grounded and seeking his sport on the mortal coil. 

Kinroy maintains the Long Rod, an excessively long bamboo fishing rod. A long line of spiderweb dangles from one end with a hook hammered from a sewing needle. The string will never snap. The Shaft never breaks. It is an infallible tool; its only chance of failing is in the hands of the wielder. 

Kinroy is tall and lanky, easily mistaken for just another man. He wears comfortable, well-worn, and patched clothing. A wide-brimmed hat sits upon his head, covering his face in shadow. A scraggily beard is barely visible, and eyes are glowing like the surface of a swamp reflecting the light of the full moons. He keeps his hair in one long braid that runs down his back, each strand ending in a fishhook bound together in fishing line.  

Kinroy is calm, endlessly patient, and wise. He never rushes and seeks to do what he wishes with a slow, relentless interest. He seeks to understand, master, and overcome his passions, believing in one truth: that one should do something once and do it right. Kinroy has the calm competence and inner peace of an old master of a craft that has brought him joy, and he wishes to share it with others. He grants his divine servants the power to walk on water, instantly dry clothing, preserve meat, fish, and vegetables, purify water for drinking, create magical bait, sense what species of fish are present in a large section of water, and create ward stones that can disrupt and hold back waves.  

Kinroy is worshipped by societies that live where water meets land. He is a patron of fishing villages, societies along swamps, rivers, and anyone sustained by fishing. He is worshipped at small shrines along coastlines; images of fish and sea life are carved into stone, and the god is depicted as little more than a stick figure with a wide hat. He accepts the sacrifice of uneaten fish, bones, and organs, returning them to the sea. Kinroy accepts nothing for himself as he makes whatever he needs himself. He demands mortals respect his own, his mother’s, and his father’s domains, take what is needed, and be gracious to the world that gave them so much.
