Ọya

The mighty Orisha of wind and lightning, who awoke from her long slumber in 1899 to drive imperialist forces from the lands of the Yoruba. Upon fending off the invaders, she united the peoples of northern and western Africa into a force that could rival any of Europe’s great empires, and which remains a major international power even today.

For the most part Ọya plays the role of a benevolent goddess, using her ability to ensure bountiful harvests across her entire domain and driving away marauding Broken. Under her reign, deserts have flourished into jungles and oases, and the diverse peoples of western Africa have erected shining metropolises nearly on par with Lellorium itself. In exchange for her boons, however, she demands worship from her subjects, and does not hesitate to obliterate any who might defy this command.
