Citron

Citron is the patron of murder, citrus fruits, lies, and cattle.

Time and time again, those who dwell in the Sunless Sea will seek to reach out to higher powers, looking for guidance. Sometimes they get an answer. Citron is reported as having contacted dozens of people over the years, always through vivid dreams. These dreams are never clear, but interpretation varies only slightly from person to person. Those who go mad from these dreams have been the only ones to describe Citron’s physical form, particularly the pungent scent of rust and rotten fruit that surrounds him.

Citron calls those who hear him to murder in his name, using slain citizens and cattle as fertilizer to grow citrus fruits, a bounty which is given freely to all who would accept them. His followers vehemently deny all of this, despite ostensive evidence.

Many citizens are skeptical if Citron truly exists, thinking perhaps the cult is using him a cover for their activities. However, the excellent produce provided freely to the state, and the tendency for meddlers to go missing, dissuades most from intervening.
