Manann, also sometimes spelled Manaan, also known as the Lord of the Seas, King of the Sea, Summoner of Storms, King of Storms, and Master of the Maelstroms, is the god of the sea, oceans and tides in the Old World Pantheon.

Tileans use a different name for Manann, for they call him Mathann, similar to the name for the Elven god Mathlann, probably due to their translation of the ancient scrolls left by the High Elves in the colonies they established in what is now Tilea.

Manann is the chief god of the wayward Imperial province of the Wasteland and its great commercial capital Marienburg. The sea god also holds sway over the Empire's northern coasts and its rivers as far as the tide can be felt. The Cult of Manann administrates his worship.[1a] In divine myth, he is the son of the gods of nature [[Taal]] and [[Rhya]].

As the god of the sea Manann is also Lord of the Oceans. Like his element he is volatile and unpredictable. He is powerful, wilful, and ferocious, but capable of acts of great beneficence, tenderness, and even playfulness -- providing sustenance for his worshippers and bringing them safe to port. When his mood shifts, his jealousy and rage can be ruinous. The priests of the [[Cult of Manann]] admire their god for his strength and revere him to placate his moods, but none love Manann as they do [[Shallya]], [[Sigmar]], or the other gods in the Old World Pantheon.
