Mistress of The Cards

The Mistress of the Cards, also known as the Lady of Chance, Lady Luck, Fate, She Who Collects the Tab When it is Due is the personification of the forces of luck and chance in the universe. She is a Neutral Power, tending towards chaos, and favoured by thieves and gamblers.

The One Church does not acknowledge her position in the Pantheon, preferring to see her as a power to be placated than one to be worshipped. As the Pantheon is mostly good-aligned and dogmatic, the capricous and chaotic nature of The Mistress is theologically problematic But then, no one wants to be the Church Leader that angered Lady Luck....

Worship
There are very few churches as such to the Mistress - a few gambling halls may keep a shrine to her. Rarer still are her priests and priestesses, although they do exist.

Her name is invoked often, a request is made to have her favour shown by bending the cards of fate or my weighting the dice in favour of the applicants. Her favour is fickle, however, and may work against you if you have displeased her.

Holy Symbols
Her Holy Symbol is a female hand holding a playing card, back to the viewer.

Appearance
She is depicted as a human female in a white hooded robe. half her face is in deep, imenetrable shadow no matter which way the light falls, and her hands are similarly coloured - one fair, one dark and black. The "Black Hand of Fate" is one who's touch you do not wish to feel.
