Design details |
In many campaign settings for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, Eadro is the deity worshipped by the locathah race and merfolk race. His sacred animal is the jellyfish. His symbol is a spiral, indicating growth through unity.
Eadro was first fully detailed in Deities and Demigods (1980).
Eadro was detailed in the book Monster Mythology (1992), including details about his priesthood. His role in the cosmology of the Planescape campaign setting was described in On Hallowed Ground (1996). Eadro is described as one of the good deities that celestials can serve in the supplement Warriors of Heaven (1999).
Eadro was described briefly in Defenders of the Faith (2000). His priesthood is detailed for 3rd edition in Complete Divine (2004).
Eadro appears as living water able to take the shape of a locathah, a merman, an amorphous blob, or anything else he pleases.
Eadro is a member of the asathalfinare, an Elven word meaning "those who have their being in the sea haunted by the true dream." Other members of the asathalfinare include Deep Sashelas, Eadro, Persana, Surminare, Syranita, Trishina, and Water Lion. They meet occasionally in Thalasia to minimize conflict between themselves and their various peoples. They also discuss their common enemies, the sahuagin, ixitxachitl, sharks, and other monsters empowered by the ancient god Panzuriel, foe of them all. The asathalfinare also work to develop and maintain good relations with human and other gods of the sky and sea. Stronmaus in particular is well-disposed toward them.
