Shehemis occupies a capricious corner of the Iozarian divine pantheon as the God of Luck and Trickery. Embracing a chaotic neutral alignment, he governs the trickery domain, where chance, mischief, and unpredictability reign supreme. Clerics of Shehemis are found throughout the world, tending to shrines where people from all walks of life offer donations, hoping to curry favor with the deity and tilt fortune in their favor.
The worship of Shehemis is a gamble in itself, adherents know that their god's whimsical nature means he may choose to bestow his blessings randomly, if at all. His symbols are varied, often including dice, rabbits' feet, and other tokens of chance, reflecting the myriad ways in which luck can manifest.
Shehemis's influence on the mortal plane is often subtle and always unpredictable. It is said that when the god grows bored, he selects mortals as his playthings—not out of malice but for his amusement. The adventures and misadventures of these chosen few may take unexpected turns, sometimes benefiting from fortunate accidents, other times suffering from inexplicable mishaps, all for the entertainment of Shehemis.
Devotees of Shehemis often include gamblers, thieves, entertainers, and anyone who relies on the fickle hand of fate. They understand that to follow Shehemis is to accept the inherent uncertainty of life and to revel in the possibilities that come with every new dawn.
In the broader lore of Iozaria, Shehemis is neither a malevolent force nor a benevolent one; he is the embodiment of chance itself, a reminder that life is a game where the rules are always changing. His temples are places of laughter and light-heartedness, where the serious business of praying for luck is always tinged with an air of excitement and the unexpected.
