Matilda
The Lady of Fate
Matilda used to reside within a fortress on an island known as Kalakona. Her purpose was to serve the Swordsmen of the Seven Lands as a mentor and seer. Her soothsaying was irrefutable in some regards as she quite often predicted where the Swordsmen would have to be deployed to further progress the most beneficial future. However, Her passions were Her downfall, and Her foresight was clouded. Horus Ironsides, the Paragon of Passion, had visited Her many times and shown Her a future that She desired. She was led astray from the best future for Shon, and led to the best future for Herself and Her new lover. Her mount is recognized as being a Dire Tiger.
Dogma
Matilda is a cantankerous old goblin whom of which believes in how the strings of fate can be pulled in any direction, but it will always move forward. To have self-control and willpower to not tamper with fate is a major accomplishment amongst worshippers of Matilda. To keep one's passions close to their chest, and to know what secrets must be told, are major points to be made in Matilda's tenets.
Gaining Favor or Redemption
To gain favor with Matilda, one has to gain an understanding of how fate can have immutable consequences, that your passions can cloud your judgment, and how secrets kept from those around you can lead to strife in the foreseeable future. To fail in these is to lose favor with Matilda and redemption is only gained through the blessing of Krakhorn, the Lord of Redemption.
Ranking requirements

When an orc has gained an understanding of what it is like to let one's self be open to the tides of fate, they will gain insight on when it is most applicable to manipulate fate. Matilda desires for Her worshippers to find a balance between their passions in life and their duties to Shon. Gaining insight on Matilda's guidance and performing Her tasks will earn Her favor and eventually you earn Her blessing of promotion. This promotion allows one's prayers to be heard from Keogan, the Warchief of Companionship. Religious promotion does not prevent one from praying to their prior deities and thus Matilda can still be sought for guidance.
