Tymora (tye-MOR-uh)

Goddess of Fortune

Tymora, or as she is otherwise known, Lady Luck, is the chaotic goddess of Luck and Wealth. A common patron goddess for adventurers, Tymora smiles upon those who take risk and achieve victory from it, and her dice determine the fate of those who follow her. She is favored by gamblers, merchants, and wealthy businessmen alike, for money and chance are all under her domain.

Tymora takes the appearance of a stunningly beautiful tiefling woman of Siramavuin descent, with golden almond-shaped eyes, long dark hair shot through with strands of gold, and fair features. Her horns, which she retains in every form since her captivity under Bane, are inlaid with gold and jewels, and polished to a beautiful shining purple color. She always dresses extravagantly, in rich purples and golds, with saffron flowers and citrine stones adorning her ensemble. Her fingers end in sharp golden claws. On occasion she can chose to appear as a gemstone or gold dragon, though it's said she favors the form of a spectacular amethyst dragon.

Tymora's Influence

Tymora's aspects are many, encompassing wealth, luck, beauty, and trade.

Worshipping Tymora

Those who choose Tymora as patron tend to possess a zest for life and a calm assurance that she will ensure they live a long and fruitful life. Many halflings consider Tymora to be one of their patron, and consider her widespread worship in human lands as simply the greatest of Lady Luck’s numerous humorous cons.

Clerics of Tymora favor gaiety and spontaneity, believing that those who enjoy the greatest fortune are those who take the greatest risks. They position their temples as refueling stops for adventuring bands, often offering such staples as holy water and healing potions. Some churches take this a step further, offering excessive secret aid to the most daring of adventurers in a public relations effort to “prove” the value of Tymora’s doctrine. Clerics hail the miraculous success of these heroes upon their return from dangerous dungeons and haunted tombs, declaring their survival and plunder the reward given by Lady Luck. Each Tymoran temple is an independent operation with its own hierarchy and doctrinal interpretation, which usually boils down to the whims of the high priest or priestess informed by a baseline collection of beliefs and customs.

Myths of Tymora

Tymora and the Halflings

According to halfling legend, Melora and Sehanine created the halflings together, giving the race a love of nature and the gift of stealth. When their interest waned, Melora and Sehanine stopped looking after the race, or so the legends go, and halflings made their own way in the world. They say Tymora, the god of luck, admired their resourcefulness and adopted them, favoring them with good fortune. Not all halflings worship Tymora, but nearly all breathe a prayer of thanks to her when fortune favors them.

Tymora, Tyr, and Sune.

Tymora had caught the eye of the god Tyr, and despite Tyr's involvement with Sune, god of love and beauty, Tyr courted Tymora, making Sune furious. During Tymora's travels, she came upon a beautiful rose, which she attempted to pluck from the earth. Curiously, the flower would not budge, so she cursed it with bad luck, whereupon its stem broke and it fell to the ground. Thinking little of the incident, she placed the rose in her hair and continued her roaming, oblivious to the enchantment placed upon it by a jealous Sune. When Tymora returned to Celestia, the gods drew away, for Tymora's form had been enchanted to look hideous. She could only reassume her true form after begging Sune to dispel the illusion, and promising never again to pursue Sune's partners.
