View source for Svalinn (3.5e Deity)

=== Description ===

Svalinn's true form is obscured, but through visions he has always appeared as a giant shield with an eye upon its surface.  It is said though its actual body is vast, and is in fact the crystal spheres which separates the black void from the world.  Others claim it is the supposed "gate to heaven" which is his true body.  It may be that he has multiple bodies, for he is one of the strongest deities.  And yet, he is also one of the most helpless as all its focus is used to maintain the universe and its boundaries.  Without him, dimensional travel through the old mundane means would be possible and demons and angels would walk upon the earth once more.  Rhadamanthus checks upon Svalinn often, making sure the seals are left intact.  Svalinn rarely speaks, and when he does it is of great importance.  Always left to his duty and effectively immobile, he uses his scion as proxy for whenever it needs to intercede in events.  

Svalinn is typically associated with his favored creature, the turtle.  The turtle is well protected by a shell, allowing it to move slow and steady to its goal.
