Lady of Fortune

Lady of Fortune is a goddess associated with the shifting whims of chance and fortune.

Story
Lady is honored by gamblers and those who take risks. She is depicted as a jolly halfling woman wearing clothes of the finest material who dances gayly through the air on slippers gilded in gold. According to her acolytes she cannot generate luck but rather she can move it from one individual, being, or item to another. Some things that she favors retain some degree of luck forever while other things she disdains (such as red birds) will become cursed. For this reason when one gains favor it is often at the cost of another losing it and therefore the luck is of greater worth.

Lady often operates on her own whims giving luck and taking randomly. She takes humor in her power and often assigns divine intervention on behalf of the underdogs. She is entertained by tragedies and comedies and has great affinity for Thalmus. Sometimes seen as a trickster Lady has received commendation and curses from each of the other gods in turn depending on which side of the coin they have drawn. Zeal is perhaps her most envious rival who covets her power. Because of this Lady now detests Zeal's red bird and has made them omens of bad luck.

Lady makes occasional appearances in the lore for Erdon and Claw often to turn the tides of fate at the last moment. The same is said to happen in many battles, most notably is the Oberdonian Second Claim, in which it is said a Vulcuudian priest endured bad luck for a month by spending a holiday on the island of Misery being harried by the nuisance creatures. As a result of a truly awful vacation Lady turned the fate of the entire war towards the Vulcuudian side.
