Twin Goddesses of Fortune Chaotic Good & Chaotic Evil Trickery Portfolio: Luck (good & bad), success, failure, chance Temples: There are no temples to the twins, they are as likely to bless these temples as they are to curse them. Instead, there are small shrines lined with felt, with dice and decks of cards placed within.

The twin sisters of luck, one sister represents and grants good luck, the other sister represents and grants bad luck. Unfortunately, or perhaps, fortunately, for their worshipers, no one knows which sister is which and neither of the two goddesses will say. Because of this, the two are worshiped as a single god, worshipers pray for good and bad luck, hoping that the right goddess happens to be listening, but knowing that the flip of a coin or roll of the dice could lead to disaster as easily as a success.

The twins often feature into the beginnings or the middle of legends. They offer mortals a gamble or a chance to have their prayers answered. Some set out to undo the bad luck brought by one sister, or are saved by the good luck given by the other. No one is quite sure what relationship the sisters have with the god of fate, Norn. For some the prospect of chance flies in the face of ordained fate, others believe that destiny is a response to chance and neither can exist without the other.

The mortals held in the greatest favor of the twins are those who surrender to the role of the dice and simply let the whims of luck happen. But this favor may not always be a blessing. Both goddesses’ despise cheaters or those who rig games of chance, especially if those people already began the game with an advantage. The more egregious the cheat, the less the goddesses listen.
