Charmalaine

Goddess of keen senses and luck

Charmalaine is an energetic and spontaneous deity, unafraid of danger, for she expects to be able to detect it as it approaches and evade it before it brings her harm. The stories of her accomplishments read like an adventurer’s wildest dreams: she escaped from an army of ogres, and took treasure from the lair of Fury. Halflings envision her as a young adult who moves so fast that her boots smoke and sometimes even catch fire. She carries a mace that has a head that shouts out warnings, and she is accompanied by her ferret friend, Xaphan.
Halflings sometimes call Charmalaine the Lucky Ghost because she can send her spirit out of her body to scout ahead, and thus she is able to warn halfling adventurers of danger while in her incorporeal form. Halflings who favor Charmalaine are usually adventurers or those who pursue other risky professions such as hunting, beast training, scouting, and guarding public officials.

History

Halfling Genesis

Brandobaris a human god known for his cunning and audacity hatched a plan to outwit Surtur. He successfully infiltrated Surtur's hoard, which contained exquisitely crafted artifacts of immense power. In an audacious heist, Brandobaris managed to steal from the hoard, causing Surtur to erupt in fury.
In his rage, Surtur cursed Brandobaris and all his followers, shrinking them down to the size of half-men. However, Brandobaris, true to his nature, took this drastic transformation lightly, even finding humor in it. Many gods, including Charmalaine and Cyrrollalee, saw the curse as unjust, especially for Brandobaris's devoted followers.
In an act of solidarity and sympathy, Charmalaine and Cyrrollalee decided to stand with Brandobaris and his followers. They willingly shrank themselves down to the size of halflings and bestowed their divine blessings upon the transformed humans. These blessings included the gifts of luck and perpetual joyfulness to assist them in navigating the challenges of their newfound existence.
