Zia Goddess of Trickery
Zia, Goddess of Trickery, is one of the newer deities—yet her laughter echoes through ancient halls. A divine jester and mistress of misdirection, Zia dances through the edges of light, revealing that not all brightness brings clarity.
Though she is counted as a deities of light, she is the shadow cast within it—the gleam that blinds, the mirage shimmering in heat. Where Hikari shines with truth, Zia glitters with illusion. She believes that light, when trusted too much, can deceive more deeply than shadow. Truth itself, she claims, can be a mask.
Zia is chaos cloaked in charm. She spins lies into riddles, truths into games, and loyalty into layered puzzles. Not even her most faithful followers can claim to fully understand her—nor should they. For Zia delights in surprise, and sometimes betrays her own schemes simply for the thrill of seeing what happens next.
Her followers are clever, bold, and irresistibly drawn to the challenge of tricking even their Trickster Goddess. She welcomes the attempt—indeed, she dares it. For within each deception is a truth, and within each trap, a door.
Zia blesses her followers not with clear answers, but with clever opportunities. Her gifts often appear as riddles, setbacks, or strokes of strange fortune—but to those who play the game well, her blessings are unmatched.
She teaches: “Stare too long at the light, and you’ll see only illusions. Blink, shift, move—and then you might see the real game.”

Divine Symbols & Sigils
Lucky Dice
Zia's main symbol is a golden-yellow dice that emits many shades of yellow light. It reflects the game itself—and your mastery of the tricks contained within it. Why rely on fate when you can draw the Judge and manipulate the outcome? Zia is showing you the way. Now, do it.Spike Chain Weapon
Zia is a failure—a spiked chain weapon, a ball on a chain pointed with something sharp and lethal. It's unpredictable, difficult to regulate, and even harder to read. However, in the hands of the adept, it becomes a tool of absolute deception. It bends around obstructions, dances between gaps, and strikes at unexpected angles. This is not a weapon of straight lines, but of smart turns and limitless possibilities.Tenets of Faith
Zia expects her followers to understand that life itself is a game—and to play it well, one must know the rules she has set
1. All are players. Everyone—mortal, divine, or metaphysical—is part of the grand game. No one is exempt.2. To be her player, you must embrace the arts of deception, trickery, and cleverness. Wit is your weapon, and subtlety your strength.
3. To gain her blessings or enter her realm, you must first prove yourself to her—and then aim to outplay even her. She welcomes the challenge.
4. Every game has a goal. Beyond personal gain, Zia expects her followers to target other religions, cults, and ideologies. Tear them down, twist their beliefs, or manipulate them into change—whatever disrupts or subverts their deities' intentions.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
Zia’s ultimate goal is to play the greatest tricks, win the cleverest games, and enjoy every moment of it. She is the goddess of trickery—and she revels in it. Every law, rule, or divine decree is either a challenge to overcome or a toy to twist and manipulate.
She seeks to outwit all other gods, proving that she is the most cunning and clever of them all. For Zia, life without risk, stakes, or rewards is pointless. The world, the divine realms, and even reality itself are meant to be played with.
