Ring Of Fire

The modern-day Ring of Fire is a coalition of island peoples whose ancestral habitation and zone of influence stretches from Australia to Hawaii. They are the descendants of ancient seafaring explorers who built a unique civilization on their island homes, islands which they believe are the earthly abodes of primordial goddesses. 
== Facts: ==
-The Ring of Fire Chapter is dedicated to the lands of Oceania and their people. While ostensibly forged by the Polynesian peoples specifically, the Chapter has expanded in recent years to include immigrants of non-Polynesian ethnicity. 
-At its height, the Ring of Fire Chapter held the territory of Australia, New Zealand, the various break-away islands of the Pacific southwest, and Hawaii. The last few centuries has seen most of that territory occupied by other, larger Chapters, particularly in Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii. However, even in these areas the Ring of Fire still maintains a strong influence, especially on a cultural level. 
-Technically, the Ring of Fire has never truly been a whole, unified Chapter. While recent technological advances have allowed for instantaneous travel and communication between the Pacific Islands of Oceania, in times past this simply wasn't possible. 
-Instead, each individual island hosted its own Chapter of native Adepts. While united by a shared cultural heritage, it was not until the modern age that these various island groups have truly been able to mesh together into a cohesive whole Chapter. 
== Islands of the Fire Goddesses: ==
Probably the central feature of Oceanic culture is the belief in the fire goddesses. Among them, Pele is the best known in the wider world and who is the goddess of Hawaii. The ancient explorers of Oceania discovered the Polynesian Islands and came to believe they were the earthly dwelling places of these primordial goddesses of violent creation. 
Because of this, volcanoes and areas of volcanic activity are believed to be sacred to these important cultural deities. Members of the Ring of Fire will often prefer to hold important meetings or rituals on or near such areas of geological activity.
