PublicationPathfinder #216: The Acropolis Pyre

In her efforts to kill other hero-gods, Ongalte performed an act of hypocrisy: she created a hero-god of her own. A marauder and iconoclast, the pirate Ytildos seemed like a perfect lieutenant who could hound Iblydos's pantheon from the sea. However, when Pharimia wounded Ongalte in battle, the cyclops fled and relied on Ytildos to guard her as she recuperated. He did… for a time. Greed and contrariness got the better of him, and he absconded with much of Ongalte's wealth, earning her eternal ire.

Ytildos is an inconsistent divinity. One moment, he's encouraging his worshippers to cause and pilfer shipwrecks, only to become jealous of their newfound wealth. It's common for sailors to cast a portion of their wealth into the sea, hoping to assuage the hero-god's avarice. He drags the ships of any who fail to placate him onto reefs, delighting as the coral tears open a vessel's belly and spills its cargo into the sea.
