Kulla

Goddess of Fire, Kulla is a central figure in several Rachmian culture, often due to her constant bickering with her brother, Roto.

Jurisdiction
Kulla is primarily associated with the element of fire, though in various cultures she picks up several smaller roles as well. Kulla is also associated with the hearth, homes, and spurned lovers. In Aperion she is the patron of women, and the majority of her devout followers are women.

Appearance
Kulla's appearance varies from culture to culture, usually in direct relation with her importance and her jurisdictions in said culture. Kulla is commonly a woman with skin that varies between colors found in a fire-- red, orange, yellow, white, or some combination. Her color scheme is always warm colors, contrasting with Roto's cooler palette.

Age Difference Among Nations
Kulla is a more curious example of the differences between nations and their perspectives on the gods. Aperion, Vidbel, and Heruba have significantly different ideas of how Kulla looks.

In Aperion, Kulla is seen as more of a hearth goddess, and her appearance is childlike, as they connect her impish nature with a child's penchant for good-natured pranks. In Heruba, where her role is more prominent, she's a maternal figure, so her appearance is that of an adult woman. In Vidbel, she is an old woman, a crone with a sharp tongue.

Mythological Roles
Kulla is most famous in Rachmian myths for her rivalry with her brother, the water god Roto. Both came into being at the exact same time, and they have a closer, more antagonistic bond than many of the other gods. Many stories feature Kulla and Roto attempting to outdo one another or spite each other.

Despite their concern with each other, both Kulla and Roto defer to Zin Aduro and Nosbalada in the pantheon.

Vidbel's creation myth prominently features Kulla, as it posits its people as being created due to a bet between Kulla and Roto to see who could make a better example of life. The first Vidbeli, the legends state, were half-formed creatures of fire and water.
