Volkris the Molten Lord

Overview: Volkris rules the Ashen Isle, a volcanic god now consumed by uncontrollable fury. His domain of fire and molten rock once provided warmth and creation, but corruption has twisted his power into pure destruction.

Divine Information:

• Domain: Volcanoes, Fire (Corruption, Chaos)
• Affiliation: Corrupted Deities
• Status: Active
• Era of Activity: Current Age (Post-Corruption)

Creation/Origin: Volkris was once revered as a creator deity, his flames forging life and power in the Ashen Isle. During the Age of Divergence, his rage became uncontrollable, and the once-creative flames of his domain erupted into chaos. The volcanic activity that he once regulated spun out of control, making him a god of pure destruction.

Appearance: Volkris is a towering figure composed of molten rock and searing flames. His body drips lava, and his skin cracks with burning light from within. He wields a massive, magma-forged warhammer that melts the ground beneath him.

Personality: Volkris is unpredictable and wrathful, prone to violent outbursts of fiery rage. He revels in the destruction his flames bring, viewing the world as something to be reshaped in fire and molten ruin. His chaotic nature leaves him unapproachable, even by other deities, as his focus is purely on burning all life.

Worship: Volkris’s followers are pyromaniacs and lava shamans who believe in the purging power of flame. They gather at volcanic vents and perform rituals of immolation, throwing offerings into the lava to honor their fiery god. Temples to Volkris are often built near active volcanoes or deep within volcanic caves.

Mythology:

• The Eruption of the Isle: When Volkris succumbed to corruption, he caused the cataclysmic eruption of the Ashen Isle, burying entire regions in lava and ash. This event is still remembered as a symbol of his descent into chaos.
• The Hammer of Volkris: It is said that Volkris wields a warhammer forged from the heart of the first volcano. Legends claim that if the hammer is ever taken from him, the volcanic eruptions will cease, but at the cost of untold devastation.
