According to Caroline Islanders, Olofat was the son of the sky deity Lugeilan and a human woman through a magical conception - because of this, young Olofat decided to visit heaven on a column of smoke to claim kinship with his celestial relatives. However, heaven's inhabitants were not happy to see Olofat and a grand war broke out. Olofat died, and it would have been the end for him if it wasn't for his father reviving him - along with that, he forced the other deities to make room for his son, and Olofat became the fire deity as a result of this reconciliation in some stories.
