Ajun

God of Misfortune

Ajun is a minor God within the Ehldaron God pantheon, and known as the God of Misfortune, a sadistic being that revels in seeing others suffer. He is described to be cunning and clever, using simple and small actions to create a domino effect few can see coming to achieve his goals.   Ajun is the counterpart of Lisella, the Goddess of Good fortune, and both Gods are described to be in a dance where they constantly try to outplay the other.     Beliefs and Purpose   During the Ancient Times Ajun often worked together with any evil aligned Deity that would have him. However, because of his nature, not many of these Gods actually wanted to work with him, as they believed the God of Misfortune would simply bring misfortune on themselves, as opposed to their enemies. While not entirely true, it’s not entirely wrong either as Ajun only has 1 goal: to make people suffer. He doesn’t care who these people are, what their goal is, or who or what they worship. Whether it’s a small incident like someone stubbing their toe, or a big one like an army losing a battle, Ajun takes joy out of all of them. During ancient times this eventually led to him standing alone as no other Gods were willing to work with him.   This has not changed throughout the ages, and Ajun is still an independent God, worshipped by anyone that doesn’t want to be affected by him or that wishes harm upon someone else.     Followers   Despite being considered to be an evil God, Ajun is commonly worshipped in most nations by normal people. First and foremost many believe that worshipping Ajun will appease him, and result in him leaving you alone. Most Clerics and Priests do not consider this to be true, however, the common people do not seem to care. A second reason why Ajun is so commonly worshipped is because many, peasants and nobles alike, have enemies that they wish both small and big misfortunes on.   Ironically enough many worship Ajun and Lisella together, this despite the fact that the 2 Deities loathe each other.   There are very few actual priests and clerics of Ajun. While in many nations most households have some token of him that they use, there are no dedicated temples to him, and very few general temples worship him. Instead, most followers of Ajun are, just like him, far more subtle. They don’t sit in temples and wear armour with his holy symbol, but they dress like other people or adventurers, and subtly use their powers for the purpose of causing misfortunes, no matter how big or small.
