Beshaba

Beshaba, also known as the Maid of Misfortune, is a deity in the pantheon of many Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, especially prominent in the Forgotten Realms setting. She is recognized as the goddess of misfortune, accidents, and bad luck. Here's an overview of Beshaba's characteristics:
Domain and Influence: Beshaba is the antithesis of her sister, Tymora, the goddess of good fortune. Beshaba's domain includes all aspects of bad luck, misfortune, and random, senseless destruction. She is feared and respected for her ability to bring about calamity and ill fate.
Appearance and Symbols: Beshaba is often depicted as a strikingly beautiful woman with a sinister and cruel demeanor. Her symbols commonly include black antlers or a broken coin, representing the misfortune she brings. Her appearance might be both alluring and intimidating, embodying the unpredictable and often cruel nature of bad luck.
Personality and Traits: Beshaba is known for her malicious, spiteful, and often vengeful personality. She delights in the misfortune of others and is relentless in her pursuit of spreading bad luck. Unlike her sister Tymora, who is whimsical and light-hearted, Beshaba is more calculated and enjoys the fear she instills in mortals.
Worship and Followers: Beshaba's worshippers often include those who have been wronged or seek revenge, as well as those who fear her enough to try to appease her. Her temples are rare, as her worship is not driven by admiration but rather by fear and the desire to avoid her wrath.
Role in the World: In the lore of Dungeons & Dragons, Beshaba plays the role of a foil to Tymora, balancing the scales of fortune. She serves as a constant reminder of the dark side of luck and the ever-present possibility of disaster.
Clergy and Temples: Her clergy, if any, might practice rituals intended to ward off her influence or bring misfortune to their enemies. Her temples are likely to be hidden or in secluded places, as open worship of Beshaba can attract fear and hostility.
