Pantheon

This deity is part of the Narnian Fanfic pantheon, the pantheon of the Narnia fanfic setting. It can also be used with other settings.

Symbolism

The Emperor Over the Sea represents the Christian God in C.S. Lewis' Narnia novel series, particularly in his role as supreme being, with Aslan representing the 'savior' aspect. In a way the Emperor more closely resembles the Islamic concept of God as being unknowable, or perhaps even more closely, Ao of Forgotten Realms fame. Unlike Ao, however, it is suggested the Emperor rules over many campaign settings.
