Lorik
Lorik is a trickster god, the patron of ne'er-do-wells, spies, and thieves. All that occurs within shadow is in the purview of Lorik. People whisper a prayer to Lorik whenever stealth is required or intrigue is afoot. Courtiers and diplomats invoke the god's name in hopes of a smooth negotiation. Those who favor Lorik usually pursue thievery and other forms of acquisition of what belongs to others, such as pickpocketing, burglary, mugging, and con games. Ordinary folk pray to him to avert his eyes from their valuables, but the cautious sometimes employ "Lorik's Purse", a small, cheap cloth pouch worn in plain sight (thus easily cut or lifted) containing a small offering of coin. By convention, a pickpocket pilfers Lorik's purse when encountering another person wearing one, and considers the gain a gift from the god, while the one who lost the purse is grateful to the lord of shadows for accepting a respectful sacrifice of a small portion of his goods. Of course, nothing prevents another pickpocket from targeting someone who has lost Lorik's purse, but anyone with the ill-luck to attract multiple pickpockets in a single outing has probably earned Lorik's ire anyway. Lorik is the husband of Istra 'The Lady of Air', who is the youngest sister of Azura 'The Great Mother', and twin sister of Mystra 'The Lady of Mysteries'. Lorik is the father of twin daughters Leira 'The Lady of The Mists' and Teira 'The Maiden of Pain'. Lorik has the abilities of a 40th Level Rogue. Priests of Lorik are usually thieves by profession, and often serve as higher-ups in the local underworld or criminal syndicate. They go by the title of demarche or demarchess, and wear veil-masks when acting in their priestly capacity.Divine Domains
