Tymora
Goddess of Luck (a.k.a. Lady Luck / Our smiling Lady)
Tymora is a friendly, graceful and kind goddess. She is whimsical but playful, never vindictive or spiteful, and always manages to turn things to her advantage. She loves a joke and has been known to play pranks on the stiffer gods like Heimdall and Tyr, but she always finds ways to appease trouble.
Shrines and temples dedicated to Tymora can be found all over Gaia. Her church is particularly popular in towns where adventurers come and go, filling the temple coffers in exchange for healing and making the temples rich. This wealth allows the temples a great deal of independence.
The Church encourages people to take chances and try to fulfill their dreams instead of spending all their days planning without ever taking a chance. The church is committed to helping the daring by healing them and (sometimes secretly) providing them with minor magical items to increase the luck that accompanies those who trust in Tymora. A common form of greeting among the faithful is to let the sacred symbols touch each other, and believers often embrace to do so. The church only performs two rituals equally in all temples. The Midsummer celebration consists of a whole night of daring acts, romantic trysts and meetings with harpers, family members and representatives of allied faiths. Starfall is the most sacred of all church rituals. It is celebrated on the 23rd day of the month of Frokmed, Tymora's birthday. Although they were both born from the same seed, Tymora is the opposite and arch-enemy of her twin sister Beshaba. Tymora is on good terms with most of the good powers, and rumor has it that she has had affairs with some of them. She gets on particularly well with Selune. In addition to her dark twin sister, Loviatar is also one of her enemies

Tenets of Faith
You should be brave, because to be brave is to live.
A brave heart and the will to take risks beat carefully thought-out plans nine times out of ten.
Leave yourself in the hands of fate and trust your luck.
Be and act as your own master and show your trust in the mistress, may your fortune be good or bad.
Chase after your own unique goals and the Lady will help you achieve them.
Without direction and goals, you will soon know Beshaba's embrace, for all who have no fixed course abandon themselves to the mercy of misfortune, which knows no mercy.
