Lore: It is said that Vadokan’han has always been sitting in the night sky with his brother Nenrak, lazily watching over the world, punishing the wicked with diseases and fiery vengeance.

One day, his brother Nenrak tricked him into believing that mortals had ravaged his temples and massacred his followers, throwing him into such a rage that none had seen before. In fact, Nenrak’s followers were the one that killed them, but Vadokan’han believed his brother and used his powers to spread virulent diseases over the surface of the planet, and sending chunks of himself over the planet, bombarding towns, destroying them, and leaving radiation behind to permanently turn these zones into no man's lands. Normally, when Vadokan’han punishes the wicked, he regains his resources and reforms himself when he rightfully punishes them, but since he was tricked, he remained formless and could not gain back the parts of himself he sent on the planet. When he realized he had been tricked by his brother, he started burning with a permanent hatred and rage, which he directed at his brother and scorched thoroughly the side of him he could see, leaving his brother completely blackened on one side, the other side still pearly white.

Ever since, he has lost his need for justice and just burns with unstoppable rage and hatred, pushing his followers to take vengeance on anyone who wronged them.

There have been multiple accounts of high goblin activity near and around the craters created from Vadokan’han’s storm. Even going so far to at times worship the craters, using it as a form of shrine to worship the mad god.

Divine Fighting Technique: See Torag’s Patient Strikes (Except that it applies for the Meteor Hammer, the Phaleros and the Fire Lance instead of the warhammer).
