Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tonguez" data-source="post: 942698" data-attributes="member: 1125">(an Island from my campaign)Paumako is a volcanic island with a still active crater and various geothermal springs and gysers. it is the home to goblin clansas well as a family of Ogres. Amongst these ogres a new and powerful ruler has emmerged, Nifoafi has the power the Volcano within him, he is a Half-paraelemental (Magma) Ogre able to cause earthquakes and control magma even causing his own body to burst into flame. Cruel and cunning Nifoafi has crushed all opposition and imposed his authority overall. He now looks out across the waves his hunger for power as yet unsatisfiedWhat's the ruling power, and how does it stay that way?Nifoafi is more interlligent than the average Ogre and with a mixture of cunning and cruelty rules the Island with a burning fist. His Family (normal ogres) gain great prestige by association but nonetheless they fear their uniquely powered brother.The goblins worship Nifoafi as a god - the emobodiment of the Volcano itselfHow does having this specific ruling power affect the island's society?Nifoafi beleives his own hype that he is a god in mortal flesh! The Islanders live in dread of their cruel overlord, the goblins worship him and many are those who have been sacrificed to satisfy the cannibal appetites of Nifoafi!The neighbouring Islands a fearful and a mny of the normal ogres of Paumako are resentful of Nifoafi's power and dominance.What unique features exist?Nifoafi is the single most significant unusual feature of the Island and he is young and growing in power each day. The Active volcano and geothermal activity has potential to play apart in development of the island as the entire landscape can be resculpted and changed in a single fiery instant.The question of how Nifoafi gained his unique traits is also open - is he a god? Does some great spirit dwell within the Volcano? When will he strike out against the other Islands?What kind of evil things can happen to my players there? 1. Nifoafi is a 'cannibal' and any prisoners captured are likely to be sacrificed and eaten2. The Volcano is erupting RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!3. Those resentful Ogres and rebellious goblins who still oppose Nifoafi may try to use the PCs to bring about Nifoafis defeat4. Similarily a neighbouring Island might try a preemptive strike against Nifoafi catching the PCs literally between the devil and the deep blue seaEditing of Redundant Tautology of a question being in question</blockquote>
