Template:Race InfoboxRiver Gods were powerful male water spirits (female water spirits were called Naiads). The most famous one is the one at the Fords of Berunan, known as the Berunan River God.
River Gods and Naids were created when Aslan gave the beasts speech, at the birth of Narnia.
Water spirits were the equivalent of Talking Beasts for bodies of water.
Notable River Gods
The River God at the First Council of Narnia.
River Gods became husbands for the daughters of King Frank I and Queen Helen shortly after the creation of Narnia. Another River God, who was the spirit of the Fords of Beruna, fell into a deep sleep for many centuries--along with all of the other spirits of trees and waters--while the Telmarines governed Narnia. When Aslan returned, during the War of Deliverance, he awoke and greeted Aslan: -
The River God trapped by the Telmarine Bridge.
- "Hail, Lord! Loose my chains."
- ―River God at the Fords of Beruna[src]
Aslan sent Bacchus and the Maenads into the water, and ivy and hawthorn grew all about the bridge as quickly as a fire grows, and destroyed it.
Physical Description
River Gods were humanoid, lived in the water, and had great bearded heads with crowns of rushes.
