Bedlam

The fey god of trickery, freedom and chaos. It is said the Bedlam frequently chooses their campion on a whim, giving them their blessing and waiting to see what they do with it. Whether this blessing is put to good or ill will, Bedlam does not care

Titles: The Laughing god, The Fool, The Trickster

Domains: Trickery

Symbol: A jesters hat

Personality: Bedlam is the embodiment of unfettered freedom and uncontrollable change. They are mercurial, wild, and dazzlingly unpredictable, refusing to be pinned down by law, tradition, or even consistent form. Bedlam appears sometimes male, sometimes female, sometimes both, and sometimes neither. The only constant is their mischievous spirit and their love of upheaval. Bedlam gives blessings at random, choosing champions not by merit or need, but by pure whim.
They take delight in setting events in motion and watching the ripples spiral outward, caring little whether the end result is disaster or salvation. To Bedlam, the act of change itself is sacred, not whether it leads to good or ill. Unlike Jover, who seeks entertainment to stave off boredom and sometimes acts through deliberate disruption, Bedlam is chaos itself, acting without plan or reason beyond the joy of change.

Clergy: Bedlam has no formal clergy, no temples, no formal rituals. To chain Bedlam to a church would be to betray everything Bedlam is. Those who revere Bedlam are usually free spirits, tricksters, wanderers, insurgents, playwrights, and madmen. Among the Fey and fey-touched houses of the Oligarchy (especially in places like House Evergarden or those with ties to the League of Iamel-Zed), Bedlam is honored with impromptu festivals, chaotic plays, wild hunts, and masked revels.

Cultural impact: Among nobles, Bedlam is viewed as a dangerous, almost profane figure. One that threatens the carefully maintained order of the Oligarchy. Noble Houses sometimes pray to Rae-Diant or Ba-Rhad for stability during "Bedlam seasons," when fate seems unusually cruel or strange.
