Klothys, Goddess of Destiny

Klothys oversees the order of the cosmos, ensuring that all things remain in their proper place, knowing how easily the cosmic balance could be undone if she were not vigilant.   Klothys is the embodiment and enforcer of destiny. She's often forgotten because she doesn't have a meaningful impact on a mortal's daily life. Mortals accept that everyone has a destiny and that won't change regardless of their devotion.   

Champions of Klothys

Klothys hasn’t had a mortal champion before. Klothys only takes intervenes when something (often a fellow god) challenges the natural course of destiny. When Klothys feels the need to take action, she creates Nyxborn with a single-minded purpose. If you want to champion of Klothys please let me know and we'll discuss some options.

Devotion to Klothys

To follow Klothys is to accept the natural order of the cosmos and your place in it. It means accepting your destiny even as you strive against the bonds of fate. As a follower of Klothys, consider the ideals on the Klothys’s Ideals table as alternatives to those suggested for your background.  
d6 Ideal
1 Devotion. My devotion to my god is more important to me than what she stands for.
2 Stewardship. Preservation of the natural order supersedes the needs of civilization.
3 Humility. It is hubris to aspire to a higher place in the natural order than we are given.
4 Vigilance. Those who defy or manipulate destiny are menaces that must be stopped.
5 Fury. The world must be cleansed to make way for a new start.
6 Protection. When gods or mortals go mad with power, it’s the powerless who suffer, and I mean to keep them safe.
