Prayers
Prayers to Shindaleria, due to most of her clerics being sea elves and spending most of their time in the water, aren't often heard. They are however sometimes written in the corals and rock walls of her shrines.
"Ocean's Embrace
Cradle me,
Eternally sway,
Gentle Currents,
Inspire awe in the soul,
Bounty of your wisdom
May it never cease,
In Ebb
In Flow
Forever"
Some sailors pray to Shindaleria before crossing the sea, for example: "Mother Ocean, grant us passage through your gentle waters, as we pose no threat to you or the life of the seas."
Holy Days
Mother Ocean doesn't really have widely recognized holy days, but individual sea elf communities celebrate certain days in her name. One time that those faithful to Shindaleria do find especially holy is that period when the seven stars of the wave twinkle in a running harmony. To those familiar with the sight, it is called the Remembrance, and it is reported to be how the constellation of Shindaleria first appeared on the southern horizon when she claimed her spot in the heavens. At this time, her faithful give thanks to her fortitude and wisdom against the odds and offer prayers to her continued strength.
