| As a demigod, Olhydra's priests are based on 100 points, rather than the standard 120 Olhydra has great enmity with Imix, Elemental Prince of Fire |
||
| Background | ||
| Olhydra has but a small human following on Oerth, owing to the efforts of the cults of Elemental Evil and the Elder Elemental God. She does, however, have a strong following among evil elemental spirits of all forms, and even amongst the sea devils of Oerth's seas (though Sekolah ruthlessly purges any cultists found amongst her people). Her human priesthood is not particularly well-organized or magically empowered, but they nonetheless hold more than one coastal community under their sway. Her priests are most common along the shores of the Wild Coast and the Hold of the Sea Princes. | ||
