Other gods include the Old Man of the River, a turtle god, and his adversary, the Crab King. Their primary god was Mother Rhoyne, or Mother River, the personification of the river Rhoyne itself. The Rhoynar worshiped a number of river-themed nature gods. Their influence made these customs standard in Dorne as well.
