"He stood higher than trees, higher than hills, higher than mountains. His footsteps thundered and sent the great beasts in the woods running. He reached out his hand, and carried the tribe past all woes.
'Kin' He spoke, as rough and loud as a avalanche in a canyon 'We are together in our trek. So, I will carry you until the sun shines'
and that is how the roads and layout to where we ended up became a mystery, but love, normally is a mysterious thing"
Tapada is a thing of geography, he rarely moves but he does it's a earth shattering event. Never subtle, never small, every action he takes is big and blatant. Should he rise in anger then you might as well be facing a erupting volcano, be that in combat or an argument. His visions are fantastic, almost overwhelming to the point of causing seizures in humans when he deigns to give them and yet when he is silent, it can be as deafening as his roars and it's his silence he likes to give most. Despite all of his kindness, the great titan does not move for anyone whims and only when he feels he is given proper tribute of meaning and sacrifice will he deem to make any sort of real action. He demands scale, and humans rarely manage to get close. In this he is proud, in this he is disconnected from the earthly woes of others with his head in the clouds.
He carries a certain fondness for the camp and the humans that make their life there, or rather, he has a fondness for where he put them and would lose that fondness should they move. But what are the frustrations of Naritopa who only cares when great tragedy has taken more than it should of?
That is a question many humans in the camp sometimes wonder. Outside of his kindness, it's hard to know what really goes in a divines mind, but Tapada is especially bad. He rarely talks more than he demands, and when he express what's within, it's only to convey a notion he has in mind. He treats himself as a natural force, and his blessing or anger being no different than choosing to stand with the wind at your back or your front"
Tapada is one of the only religious figures with a decent documented state. Although his religion is rather basic, the humans of the camp have no ambiguity about how to please him, summon him or anger him.
1: " When the work is done, sleep shall be paramount, when the work is done, rest your head and to those that disturb that rest? Be they within or without the community, show wrath and anger. Roar and when roaring fails, show claws. When the work is done, you are a avalanche awaiting your summon. When your work of the day is done, it is time for sleep and rest and rejuvenation"
2: "Karako great creation is placed for all reasons. So know this, those that destroy without absolute needed cause disturb Karako and those that disturb karako rustle the earth....disturbing Karako disturbs me....so don't do that"
3: "Your trek was long and of many feet, who's prints could no longer follow. Don't disrespect the journey to home that you now know, for doing so disrespect your ancestors. Disrespect the travelers and you disrespect me"
4: "No throne should be so comfortable that it beats the grass on your feet. No burden is so big, you cannot be a man. So walk as one and give away your indulgence of laziness. Laziness is never a good thing"
Tapada can be communicated at any time by burning fairy wood in a temple of worship. While fairy wood is burning drums should be played in a slow motion as if they were two feet walking in a lazy manner. To please Tapada the sacrifice should be of a great trek made in his name to a new location you haven't been to before, with the ritual summoned and a great pledge to do so in his name and honor his travels.
Returning, even if you are injured, without making the trip to your new location causes great anger in Tapada and is generally not a good thing. He is also fond of rhubarb plants being burned in his name in large quantities.
As general favors, Tapada can cause great natural events, especially ones of rock and stone. This includes avalanches or the creation of great sink holes, cracking canyons and shifting mountains, but he can also move items a great distance away, especially humans to a specific location with relative safety by carrying them.
To those that he especially favors or grows a liking too, he can impart certain spells regarding feats of stamina and large amounts of rock and gold dragged from the depths of the earth. As a physical trait, those especially loved will find themselves growing unnaturally large for a human over time, with records showing some growing up to 8 feet, even if many years past their maturation phases.
