Credolga embodies the duality of freshwater: giver of life, fertile soil, fish, and crops—but also devourer in the form of floods and predators. Her symbol is a broad circle intersected by a winding line, representing the sun and river in union.
Priests of Credolga oversee the flow of civic and spiritual life. They lead offerings at the start of each flood season, sacrificing fish, woven reeds, and sometimes even captives to ensure the river runs kindly.
Myths
- The First Flood: Credolga rose in fury when the first lizardfolk tried to dam her waters. She destroyed their homes, but when they rebuilt with mud and reverence, she granted them knowledge of the adobe-city.
- The Pearl in the Mud: Credolga swallowed the sun one night, only to cough it up as a pearl the next dawn, teaching the Sehabi that treasures are found in the dark places of the river.
- The Devouring Mother: Credolga demands respect. Those who hoard or take too much from the waters are said to be “marked for swallowing.”

There are many makeshift alters to Eldion around the continent especially along roads as they near natural features such as forests. Proper chapels and churches exist in most cities though they tend to be smaller and more modest than those to other deities. Eldion's depictions are semi-human, however; they are almost always surreal including an opening in the torso filled with a road leading to the horizon.
