The Volcano Gods are Fire, Ash, and Stone. They are often called Sigrid, Darka, and Lodril. Not a religion in themselves, they existed throughout the world in various pantheons, with significance and number of roles dependent largely on distance from the nearest Volcano.

Worshippers of the volcano gods have been known from Old Grehk, Cagilan Empire, and predating Darkanism, even Perdan


Sigrid

Fire, usually takes on the aspect of a fiery young woman, and her dominion is Fire, Light, Warmth, Justice, War, Passion, and Destruction. Sigrid is often served by warriors and bards, and all homes seek her blessing of warm comfort, while fearing her wrath.

Lodril

Stone, the first of the volcano gods, The heat without light, Progenitor of Sigrid and Ash, The Smith, God of toil and strength. Lodril is often served by peasants and craftspeople, the solid folk of the earth. His blessing is stability, durability, and often found on cornerstones or hearths.

Darka

Ash, Sigrid's brother. His dominion is Darkness, Death and The Dead, Silence, Cold, Intelligence, Cruelty. But not only death, for as Sigrid in her extreme is Destruction, so too is Darka's Death often associated with rebirth.

From a sermon by Valglin, Priest King of Darka: "Where Ash falls heavy, there is death, Yet where he touches but lightly, bounty"

Ash is often served by assassins and thieves, but also cold calculating merchants and politicians.
