Vokodo

 is said to be a great fire god living on the island of Rumblecusp. His worshipers live in the Vo village.

Appearance
The villagers refer to the great volcano of Rumblecusp as "Vokodo," stating that Vokodo both exists within, and is that. Vokodo lives within the mountain itself and is rumored to be a great, fiery beast, an entity that resembles and encompasses the creation of the world and its eventual destruction. Viridian described him as the mountain, and yet a projection of its essence within the mountain. "You see fire and flame, but there is water. There are caverns, woven, plants. It’s a place of life, brimming with creation within. And in the midst of that is where Vokodo is.”

Personality
Vokodo is insidiously greedy and demanding of precious things, despite the vast horde of treasures it has accumilated over its habitation of the island. Its averice seems to know no bounds and Vacodo seems quick to anger with those who come before it who are reluctent to part with their precious goods. In such an instance it will slowly increase the temperture of the water about them until boiling point, presumably to "encourage" more genrous offerings or kill those who are not forthcoming.

To its followers Vocodo is belived to be their god and a manifestion of the Island itself. To them Vokodo is seen as a protector, a being that has allowed them to prosper and offers their community protection from the horrors of the island, and it's bountiful natural resources in exchange for worship and tribute. This seems to be the result of manipulation on Vocodo's part.

Biography
The Vo villagers of Rumblecusp believe that Vokodo provides them what is necessary to survive, and they give back to Vokodo as part of a blessing cycle. Their gifts include gems, mined metals, and other precious and shiny objects. All newcomers to the village must meet with Vokodo at least once and be accepted.

When Jester asked The Traveler if Vokodo was actually a god, he said that he was "not feeling a god-type presence from the island".

Quotations

 * Viridian: “Just like any creature, there is light and there is dark. Vokodo protects, and Vokodo is the beating heart and heat of this island. Vokodo keeps things that threaten this way of life at bay. But Vokodo also, like all of us, requires sustenance, requires worship, requires something to maintain this good cause. And in the past, though not in my time, when such things were to the wayside, wrath could occur.”
 * Vokodo: "Yes! Presents!"

Trivia
