Badarus (Scion)

Badarus, was a former god of Exploration, and the Leader of the Long-lost Atlantean Pantheon .

Overview

The few depictions that remain of Badarus portray him as a venerable older man who is serpentine or fish-like from the waist down. Hes often shown holding a fish or a ship in one hand, and gesturing out and away with the other, as if sending his people out to explore. As the patriarch of the Atlantean pantheon, he encouraged his people especially his Scions to discover new territories, to venture beyond the abundant waters that ringed their island nation, seek new shores and learn new lessons. Badarus had an estranged, but apparently happy, marriage to the Atlantean Goddess of the home waters, Amnis.

Scions of Badarus were among the civilization's greatest explorers, visiting the four corners of the map in a desire to see and experience everything possible. They fancied themselves masters of "what lay beyond the horizon", although unlike some humans, they felt no need to retain or destroy what they had discovered. Simply discovering something was, to Scion of Badarus, its own form of triumph.
