Fortuna: God of Luck, Trickery, and Charisma

Worshipped by politicians, conmen and thieves alike this god is a patron to those that need a little extra help in life. If you have ever had a night gambling and realized that one person just can’t lose don’t think he’s cheating. Perhaps instead consider if they are a worshipper of Fortuna.

There is a story surrounding Fortuna which concerns a lich. The lich sought eternal life but one which he could be beautiful. To make up for his lack of beauty he adorned himself in much extravagant jewelry. He already had eternal life but now he sought beauty. So Fortuna came to him and offered just that. He would restore his flesh and he would be the most beautiful creature in all the lands. He offered this with a silver tongue and the lich eagerly accepted. He got what he wished for and his skin was given back to him. He went to a mirror and looked at his reflection, but he was so beautiful he could not look away from the mirror. He stared at his own image until he degraded into nothing for not feeding on enough souls. A week later a band of adventurers entered the lich's tomb and discovered a pile of jewelry which made them very wealthy. They considered themselves very lucky. They were and it was by Fortuna’s grace they were.

Fortuna is fickle and will grant one immeasurable luck one day and then snatch it away the next. He is not only a god but also goes by innumerable other names and facades to act as patrons to bards, warlocks and thieves. But do not be so quick to pray to Fortuna for luck, for no one really knows what it is he wants. He seemingly has no goals or end game so bargaining with this god is particularly dangerous.
