The Fool

The God known as the Fool can often be misunderstood. Their name suggests one who is irrational or unwise, and though they are neither of these things, the Fool is often humorous and playful. There is a unique dichotomy to the Fool. They look after both the Poor and the Wealthy, the Unfortunate and the Fortunate. The Fool teaches their followers to stack the odds in their favor, but to also let Luck and Fate take control.   Another thing that is often misunderstood about the Fool, is their third commandment, "Accumulate your wealth." The greedy see this as a divine blessing to hoard money, whereas those who are wiser know that Wealth comes in many forms. One can have a Wealth of Friends, of Experiences, of Knowledge.   The Fool most often appears as a fair-skinned, rotund, 20-meter-tall genderless humanoid, usually wearing brightly colored clothing.  

Worshippers

The Rich, the poor, gamblers, seers, humans.

Clergy

The Followers Of The Prophet , sometimes written as The "Followers of the Profit," is the church dedicated to worship of the Fool.   Due to the church's involvement in financial matters, initates are called "Deposits," full members are called "Tellers," and senior members are called "Croupiers." Paladins of the Followers of the Prophet are called "Brokers."   Because the Fool represents Prophecy, there is another section of the church devoted to Divination. Here the ranks are "Seers," "Augurs," and "Oracles." A paladin of this division of the church is called an "Auspex."   Regardless of the division of the church, the attire is the same. Rich, purple robes, with golden trim.

Temples

Temples of the Fool usually have three very different functions. One, they operate Workhouses to provide lodging and employment for the poor and the needy. Two, they operate branches of their international banking system, the Temple Banking Group . Three, they run gambling halls. The profits from the later two are used to help fund the Workhouses and their outreach programs.

Dogma

  The Commandments of The Fool are as follow:
  • Ride the whims of fate.
  • Stack the odds in your favor and make your own luck.
  • Accumulate your wealth.
 

Holidays

The spring equinox falls on the First of the Fool.   The Fool's Carnival occurs on the 17th day of the Fool, and is celebrated with games of chance and skill. The Carnivals are usually run by the local Followers of the Prophet, and proceeds go to help with their charity and outreach work.
