Lakua Mao is an ancient deific dragon that lives beyond the sky. In ancient times, she is said to have raged across the world burning and devouring everything in her path. Legends tell how Lakua Mao almost defeated Pele, however she finally extinguished the dragon's fires by throwing her into the ocean. During this battle, some tribes of Tulita was able to imprison several of Lakua Mao's draconic children in magical cauls and inter them in sacred places where they would siphon their magical energy to use it for their own purposes. Now the cults of Lakua Mao are a rare religion, but some regions close to Volcanos or flowing lava fields still worship the Dragon God. Lakua Mao now lives in Avernus and is subservient to Tiamat, though she has been known to take a humanoid form and traverse the planes. She will rarely show her power while outside of Avernus, preferring to keep her nature secret lest she risks entrapment or death while outside of her home. Her worshippers often believe that sacrifices must be made in order to appease her, and that failure to do so will incur her wrath. While civilized lands do not tolerate the sacrificing of humanoids, their worshippers will find other methods. Animals, a tribute of grain, or even the act of fasting and withholding certain leisure activities are seen as "sacrifices" to the God.
