Eres is the God of Sea and Wind. He appears to his followers as a tall, strongly built man of advancing years, with a wild mane of white hair. Priests of Eres typically build their temples near the sea and often serve on sailing ships. It is said that a ship with a Priest of Eres on it will never capsize or be lost in a storm. Certainly it is true that Priests of Eres have saved many a ship with their powerful prayers to control the weather.

Temples to Eres must be built in ocean provinces (on islands), or in coastal provinces next to the ocean. Attempts to consecrate temples elsewhere will fail.

The following unteachable skills may be studied directly once Church of Eres is known:
