Rēkohu
The god of Iti Motu, and one of the Atua. Rēkohu is a god of peace and empathy, and when Iti Motu was invaded he cast a spell over the island that punished all who committed violence there. Each act of violence would be repaid with a full measure of the physical and emotional pain that act caused, to the victim and to others, now and in the future. The attackers found themselves suddenly experiencing the pain they inflicted, plus the grief of all those who cared for their victim, all at once. It drove the attackers from Iti Motu, and the island remains under this spell to this day. The lighthouse Tīrama o Rēkohu was dedicated to Rēkohu when it was built, but he is not the Numina resident within the tower; that is the light of Rēkohu, which is a separate entity that emerged in his image after the tower was dedicated.
