Pele is the mother figure and creator to the Tulita peoples. Said to reside in the volcano of Fiery Heart north of Port Shaw, only the extremely devout or extremely foolish would dare to approach her fuming home. Fiery, furious and full of wrath it was by her will that the isles of the Razor bubbled up from the oceans, and this activity continues as she brings the smoldering lava from her heart to pierce the cold waters to continually make new islands. Despite her role as the creator of the people, the Tulita do not picture her as a maternal figure but rather as a vengeful matriarch who demands of them purity and devotion lest they face the purifying wrath of her molten anger. She is a ruthless defender of her islands and her children can be called upon to rain vengeance and fury upon those who would dare to exploit them.
