In the "World of Greyhawk" campaign setting for the "Dungeons & Dragons" role-playing game, Xerbo is the Suel god of the Sea, Sailing, Money, and Business. His holy symbol is the dragon turtle.

Description

Xerbo is depicted as a large man with matted, kelp-like hair, wearing armor made from a dragon turtle's scales. He wields a trident called "Murky Deep".

Relationships

Xerbo is married to the sea-goddess Osprem, and is depicted as being a rival to both Procan and Zilchus.

Worshippers

Xerbo is worshipped by Suel peoples across the Flanaess, especially the Lordship of the Isles, the Sea Princes, and Sunndi. He is also revered by the Suel barbarians of the Thillonrian Peninsula (the Frost, Ice, and Snow Barbarians), primarily in his role of sea-god.

Temples

Temples to Xerbo are found throughout the lands where he is worshipped. Notable temples include a joint temple in Greyhawk City co-dedicated to Osprem, and Sasserine's Azure Cathedral, where his faith has been combined with those of Osprem and Procan.
