Lormju
Lormju is a prominent goddess within the religion of The Hallowed Faith, within which she is revered as the god of Anger and Fire. Born as the second daughter of the sky god Jala, first of the Alkutari, Lormju inherited her fathers anger. She would become enraged by the favouritism shown to her elder sister Aakomet, her sense of injustice likely having great influence of her younger brother Bardas. Unlike her brother, Lormju would turn to vengeance against those who would betray her. She would attempt to murder her elder sister, failing to do so, and was banished to the barren lands where no gods would tread. It would only be through the pity of her aunt Aimo and uncle Tarta that a solemn tree would grow upon those barren lands, but Lormju spited the gift.
In legend told in the central kingdoms, she tore down the tree and burnt it with her anger, from the ashes and black charcoal she would create an army of her own creation, humans with skin as black as charcoal and swore she would use them to wage war against the creations of the other gods. The god Kasta would great mountain ranges, the Palantars and Sarranids in order to protect the creations of her siblings and to ward off the spawn of Lormju.
Understandably, those of Volnic heritage, who have dark skin and live in the lands that coincide with the legend, do not take kindly to this interpretation. They instead link their heritage to the great undergod Avikko, half-human - half-god, who would battle Lormju to contain her anger, using the lone tree as his only weapon. After defeating Lormju, his tree turned sword reduced to ash in his hands, from these he created the people of the lower deserts.
