POSEIDON
The
crystal trident of the so-called "River God" Poseidon was found at
the bottom of the
Lake of Tears, and taken
into possession by the man that would soon after become the
Second
Dungeon Master in 948
GUE. He placed it into the trophy case and it was last known
to be for sale by
Ellron in the same year.
Some have attempted to placate Poseidon by downloading their inventory
into rivers. Due to unsuccessful answers from this
pseudo-god, many have been
lead to believe that he does not exist, however a popular legend tells
that after
Odysseus blinded a
cyclops (who happened to be Poseidon's
son
Polyphemus) and teased him, that the cyclops called out to Poseidon to curse
Odysseus. Enraged Poseidon, barraged Odysseus' escaping ship with
tremendous storms.
