Shango is the Loa of justice.
Overview[]
Shango always fights the good fight, and resists oppression on behalf of his people. Ogoun crafted the stone axe that Shango uses to hunt liars and thieves. Legend has it that Shago married three times and produced three sets of children: one that ruled as kings, one that lead as priests, and one that became bandits who preyed on the rich. This pattern still holds among Shango's Scions.
Shango has no qualms about inserting himself into the great events of the World: he marched with Martin Luther King (and protected Malcolm X), and has been both a judge and a vigilante. As Shango sees it, the welfare of mortals is his primary purpose: what else could he do but help them? These days, however, Shango must leave much of that work to his Scions. He always has three of them in the World: a leader, an advisor, and a bandit. This keeps the World in balance and provides it the protection Shango cannot personally give.
