Vakka, the Ur-Mother
Vakka is a goddess of fertility and a protector of children and mothers. While other goblinoid deities bicker over their domains and their races, Vakka's gift of fecundity is valued by all, and she is the only deity widely revered by all of the goblin races of the People. Through her gifts, she provides the goblin races with their greatest strength—that of numbers. While other gods battle for power and advantage amongst themselves, Vakka does not, for she knows that her place in the hearts of the People is already secure.
Vakka is one of the People's most ancient deities, and has seen many other gods and goddesses rise and fall. As such, she is not a particularly jealous goddess, and does not care if her people worship others as long as she is also given her due. She does not take kindly to those who scoff at her gifts, nor to those who claim that she is not as worthy of reverence as more martial gods.

Vakka's Avatar (Cleric 18, Mage 8)
Vakka's avatar appears as a radiant, beautiful young maiden of any goblinoid race. She may choose to take the form of whichever race she feels is appropriate for a given situation. Regardless of race, her avatar is always hugely pregnant. Unless in the most unusual circumstances, Vakka eschews armor and weaponry and favors simple clothing, as her beauty needs no embellishment.

Duties of the Priesthood:
Vakka's priests and priestesses preside over the fertility rituals that ensure the expansion of their tribes and peoples. These rituals differ from tribe to tribe, but often include elements of orgiastic sex, debauched revelry, and bloody sacrifice. In addition to the fertility of the tribe, they are also responsible for the fertility of the land, and conduct ceremonies to hasten the arrival of spring on the longest night of the year. Finally, Vakka's clergy often serve as midwives and guide their followers through the ordeals of pregnancy and childbirth.
