Kalah, the Burning Rain

"See, the LORD is coming with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind; he will bring down his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For with fire and with his sword the LORD will execute judgment on all people"

Kalah is the Demiurge of disasters, violent vengeance made manifest. He is the fire the scourges the land, the earthquake that shatters cities, of horrific hail and pillars of salt left behind. There's no attempts to make justification, no subterfuge, and no excuses - only the drive to burn the entire world to cinders and ash. As much a force of nature as they are a Demiurge, Kalah is like a volcano; sometimes at rest, he is a Demiurge that plots and schemes, that covets worship and Blesses its followers, but always threatening to erupt. When he does, the Demiurge of Disasters is rabid, unreasonable and unstoppable. He unleashes disasters upon disasters at everything within sight until he is spent and dorment once again.

"He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke"

In these moments of quiet, Kalah visits his chosen in their dreams in the form of a great, horizon spanning fire and speaks with a great, earth-breaking roar. The dreamer has their weakness burned away, and Blessing scorched into their flesh in Kalah's furious generosity. His gifts and demands are always simple: destroy, ruin, and break. Only in the most quiet moments does Kalah guide followers to further other plans, but they never last long, and once his anger rises again, he forgets about them in his mad desire to annihilate again.

"He destroyed their vines with hailstones and their sycamore trees with frost. He gave over their cattle also to the hailstones and their herds to bolts of lightning"

The Demiurge has a place in the pantheon of many Adamite tribes in the vain hope that they will be spared. When Kalah is lucid, it works. The Demiurge keeps favored tribes, hearing their pleas and directing disasters away from them and onto others. With every mercy, Kalah gaze turns ever more on the tribe to find fault and reasons to punish, until he inevitably does, and tests their obedience with hailstorm, lightning, and worse. The faithful are allowed to live and sometimes rewarded for their trial. But when lucidity escapes and his power grows beyond his mind, no amount of sacrifice or faith will save them, only distance and luck.

Adamites who worship Kalah do so with fire. They build pyres and burn slaves or captives alive on them, hold wild and firelit reveries, and hold divination by conflagration to avoid Kalah's path. The most devout even set themselves on fire or dance among earthquakes to seek his favor, either by surviving and being Blessed, or joining him in death.

"Then the earth shook and quaked, the foundations of heaven were trembling and were shaken, because He was angry"

True disaster comes when Kalah manifests upon the world. He takes the shape of a great chariot made out black iron and with its back covered by a cage that holds a blazing fire, bright as the sun - Kalah's own heart. Instead of horses, the chariot is pulled by a mess of wheel upon wheels that roll and spin with sparks of fire. The chariot wheels set the ground on fire where it threads, and every kind of disaster follow in its wake, from earthquakes to hurricanes. Even some of the other Demiurges avoid Kalah when he descends upon the world, for his fury will only be sated when everything is ash.

"For a fire is kindled in My anger, and burns to the lowest part of Sheol, and consumes the earth with its yield, and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains"
