Olokun.
The first settlements and their inhabitants have been devastated as the waters rampaged through their cities, washing away all of the progress they made since being created by Obatala. What was once homes and roads is now in a state of disarray, and the survivors are struggling to restore it.
Among the worst affected by the flood were the settlements in very close proximity to the sea, but every town and city has experienced immense losses at the hands of the sea.
Not only was the infrastructure damaged, but the population has suffered a sizeable decrease. Over 50% of the initial settlers are assumed dead as of now, and the survivors are now mourning those who lost their lives. However, time is of the essence, and everyone is expected to play their part in major restoration efforts as of next week.
Naturally, the humans look to the skies for aid in times of hardship, and this is undoubtedly one of those times. Obatala, the protector of mankind, has not spoken on the flood and if or how he plans to help his creations rebuild what they have lost. The survivors, however, remain hopeful that he will come to Earth to offer them assistance. We reached out to a few of the Orisha to ask them about their thoughts on what is happening and provide an inside view on any conflict between them, but none of them were available for comment.
