Ran

Ran (pronounced Rawn) is the covetous Norse goddess of the sea who collects those drowned at sea in her net.

She stirs up the tempests that swallow ships beneath the angry waves, or shatters their hulls against the jagged rocks lurking beneath the swells. In stormy or troubled waters, sailors of old would hide gold pieces upon their person as payment for her hospitality in the event that they should be drowned.

Nordic customs tell us that when those lost at sea showed themselves at the funeral feast, it was a sign that Ran had indeed given them a happy and welcome reception.

She also enjoyed staying our clan, even if she made a big muddy mess
