Wheel of Fortune

The Tenth

Mythology & Lore

The Sun's Gambit

In an era where fate seemed erratic, The Wheel of Fortune played a cosmic game with The Sun to bring clarity to destiny’s path. They wagered the fate of a great kingdom, rolling dice crafted from the stars. The Sun’s radiance revealed The Wheel’s hidden hand, guiding the realm to newfound enlightenment. This story underscores the idea that, while fate may be unpredictable, clarity can turn the tide.

This event is now celebrated in early autumn, and involves games of chance and skill, representing life’s blend of fate and choice. As the sun sets, people make offerings to thank The Sun for guiding their path and to appeal to The Wheel of Fortune for a year of good luck.

The Great Gamble of Stars

The Wheel of Fortune once challenged The Star to a celestial game that determined the fates of a hundred mortal realms. The Star’s light shone with hope, guiding mortals through uncertainty, while The Wheel spun fate, sometimes tipping them into despair. The game ended with balance restored but taught mortals that hope must coexist with risk for true progress to be made.

Now heralded as a holiday known as The Day of Fortunes held in late autumn, this day involves divination rites, where people seek omens for the coming year. Communities gather to share stories of fortune and hope, and to celebrate The Star’s guiding light amidst the unpredictability of The Wheel. Rituals include casting lots and reading constellations, blending hope with the acceptance of fate.
