Shuun is both perhaps the most patient of the Elemental Princes and the most wrathful. Much like Bahvar, he does not enjoy the politics and bickering between himself and the other princes and the Escarian Court, but chooses to make the occasional appearance, whereas Bahvar sometimes has to be nearly dragged there. In particular he finds Nahzaheer's posturing and grandstanding bothersome. When a fight breaks out at court, it's usually Shuun and Nahzaheer that clash. Despite this, Shuun is kind to his worshipers, usually granting them calm seas should they pray for it. 
Abuse the sea, pollute its waters and Shuun's gentle nature becomes terrible indeed, with storms and angry waves till the tides claim the corrupters of the ocean.
Shuun appears as a vaguely man-shaped suspension of water with glowing blue eyes and a trident of ice. He is the patron deity to the Xalayi people and finds worshipers amongst seafarers, pirates, fishermen, crabbers and of course, hydromancers. Priests of Shuun wear blue garments and will often don armor fashioned from discarded Kraken shell or cultivated coral. Shuun's temples are located on beaches and places near or surrounded by water.
