Shylea

Shylea the Gamester is the Elven god of overindulgent pleasures. He is also a Trickster god, who is not beyond using trickery to increase his own wealth or pleasure at the expense of the unsuspecting.

During the The Great Strife, Shylea ostensibly stayed out of the fray, but behind the scenes he schemed with both sides at one time or another. Although he probably aligned better with the goals of the losers, his duplicity allowed him to avoid their fate of Imprisonment after defeat.

Elves of any alignment may worship Shylea, but especially those who themselves enjoy their wealth. Gamblers of any race may also adopt Shylea as a patron of sorts.

Divine Symbols & Sigils

Shylea's holy symbol is a coin that is bright silver on one side and tarnished black on the other. His cleris will carry at least one large example of such a coin and will use it as a spellcasting focus. Many are known to rely on a toss of their coin to decide between two paths of action - leaving the choice to Shylea.

Tenets of Faith

Anathema

One should not back down from a poor-odds situation. If one has no guts, one gains no glory.
