Other Names
Mistress of Storms, Storm Serpent, Pitiless One.
Domain
Oceans. Cold. Storms. Nature, Tempest
Personality
Changeable, with a temper. No pity for the weak. Not particularly subtle.
Usual Depiction
A serpentine dragon/sea serpent, scales glitter metallic blue-grey. When painted, she is usually depicted rising from the sea in the middle of a storm.
Companions/Demigods
Perkunos and Tatsuryuu
Worship
Not worshiped, only propitiated. Propitiated during storm season in the Stone Throne. Feared and hated in Wyrmhold, where they talk of “a serpent up the back” for a bad feeling or curse with “Sele’s shed scales.” This causes much friction with Stone Throne dwellers. Propitiated with blood sacrifice, and not token. Always an animal, preferably a predator.
Religious Precepts
The ocean is inscrutable. Do not advertise your plans. The chill of the ice is implacable. Keep pressing forward until you have ground your enemies underfoot. All men are equal before the storm. No inherent respect for tradition or authority.

Pre-Divine Status

Selesurala was Tatsuryuu's child and regent of the Plane of Water before the Cataclysm. Neutral during the Titan-Wyrm Wars, she apotheosized relatively early. She did not appreciate being "promoted" to divine rank.
