Avoca
The God-King
Avoca was one of the extradimensional beings that was chosen by Allora for the war against Calamitous. During the war he acted as co-leader to his ally and friend Phuck, leading the party through multiple dimensions to hunt down the generals of Calamitous that were trying to unravel creation.
During their journey’s, he befriended the future goddess of lust and sex, Alexa, going on to eventually conceive the divine twins Taro and Cress. Their relationship has continued to prosper with Alexa’s temple being built in Avocath.
As a man and a god Avoca values strength and determination of will. It is a deeply held belief both for himself and the Army of the King he amassed over the course of countless centuries. It is due to that belief that is always willing to fight those who think they are strong enough, the exception being members of the mortal races.
At one point in time there existed a tribe of gray skin Orcs that valued nothing more than fighting and strength. They constantly sought out stronger challenges which lead the chief to eventually felling an ancient black dragon. This prompted the chief to announce that the tribe was strong enough to fell a god and the god he set his sights on was Avoca. When word of the challenge reached the gods ears his immediate reaction was to try and dissuade the tribe from its current course. He sent messengers to announce that while he honored the tribe’s strength and ferocity in battle, he would not fight them for he did not wish to see them die. He wanted instead for them to continue to grow in strength and send capable warriors out into the world, seeking glory and honor. The chief however did not like this and in his anger killed the messengers and had a tribesman deliver the heads to Avoca along with the warning that the tribe would march to Avocath in force and make the god fight them, even if it meant killing the innocent city folk.
Hearing the news and receiving the heads of his men dismayed the god and angered him deeply. He had no quarrel with these people, they lived on the southern end of the continent and had extraordinarily little interaction with the city proper. He decided he would ride with his trust general and priest at the time, a human knight named Rodrick. And so, they left for the days ride down to the orc village stopping only so Rodrick could sleep for the night and get some sustenance.
Arriving at the village at roughly midday, they asked the gate guards to bring them the chief so they could discuss a way to end the tensions once and for all. The chief arrived a short time later and thanked Avoca for seeing reason and allowing the tribe to test their strength against his. When Avoca announced that, that would not be happening, the chief simply said very well and a barely perceptible signal a hidden archer shot and killed Rodrick with an arrow through the neck. The chief smiled and said, ‘maybe now you’ll allow us to test ourselves against you.’ Avoca, enraged at the death of his friend and priest, as well as the utter disrespect of the chief and his tribesman flew into a rage not seen since the war. Try as they might, they could not stand against the pure brute strength of Avoca, and one by one the fell to his hands. The last words uttered by the chief, ‘I have made a grave mistake…’ before Avoca punched him with such force that his head exploded. Finally calming down, Avoca noticed a single orc male remaining, a young male who seemed to be struggling to cope with the carnage. Avoca took pity on the orc and left him be, his anger abated he realized that he could take that orc back to the city, the townspeople would have none of it given his tribe had killed innocent folk. So, he left him there and returned to the city, letting the citizens know that there would be no more danger from the gray skinned orc tribe.
Since that time Avoca has mostly kept to himself, frequenting Alexa’s temple, but otherwise just running the kingdom from behind closed doors. Only his current priest Jasper and a handful of trusted friends have seen him since.
