Neron and Neredice, the Ebb and the Tide, are the two maritime deities that are described as a quarrelling couple whose bouts rouse storms and cause the tides. Their symbols include the trident and the net, as well as the many fish in the seas. They are mostly worshipped by seafarers and the merfolk, but with fear rather than with loyalty. It is said to cause bad luck to make an offering only to one of them and not the other. Notorious sea monsters are often said to be their offspring. They are naturally the most popular deities among the sailors in Eubric. The Norsemen worship only Neron as Njordon, for they firmly believe that women at sea are bad luck.
