Nakiton, the God of Trickery

Nakiton is the god of mischief and trickery, innovation and ambition, and of luck and misfortune. People pray to Nakiton for good luck even if they don't particularly follow him, and often blame bad events on him. Nakiton is esteemed by the clerical elite and divine scholars as the shrewdest of the deities; he orchestrates events to create his own luck and rewards those clever enough to do the same. Only the most learned, and a fortuitous few who have spoken with divine beings, know him by another name: 'The (Un)Holy Tactician,' depending on the source. Rumors suggest that he played a pivotal role in ending the War of the Gods, and it's whispered that his machinations determined the fate of the Nameless One. Despite his seemingly capricious nature, Nakiton's closest friend and confidant is Khaverton, with whom he weaves intricate schemes that shape the fates of mortals and immortals alike.
