Chaina, Goddess of Luck

Chaina is the Goddess of Luck. She is the fifth child of Neket.

Origins and Creations
Towards the end of the First Era, Neket sealed away the Elder Gods of Somara into the Sealed Planes, in order to minimize their influence over the world.

In anticipation of his absence, he created six children to bring order to Somara in his stead; they are Coroc, God of Time; Fune, God of Vengeance; Targus, God of Knowledge; Ultha, God of Language; Chaina, Goddess of Luck; and Mala, Goddess of Peace.

Chaina's domain was luck and fortune. Some of her more radical followers believe she holds the power over fate, deciding the course of actions in the world, but most religious scholars instead that she just has the power to provide subtle "nudges" that influence the course of fate.

Appearance
Chaina is fond of appearing to her followers in disguise. To that end, she takes on many different appearances, but her most common appears to be of a thin, unassuming, halfling woman, with brown hair and eyes, wearing old, well-worn clothing. She carries with her a pair of daggers named Secundum and Defectum, though normally she keeps them concealed beneath her clothes.

Chaina will often appear to her followers in need and offer a game of chance - wagering some boon or benefit that they want or need against some prized possession or service from the follower. Despite being rumored to have full control over any random outcome (such as the roll of a die), Chaina never cheats at these games, and will foil any attempt by the follower to due so (usually to their detriment).

Personality
Chaina is generally pleasant and easygoing. She greatly enjoys games of chance or luck, and will sometimes show up in odd places in Somara just to gamble or play against mortals. After playing a game with mortals, she will often bless them with good luck for a short time (regardless of who wins), as a way of thanking them for their time.

She abhors cheaters, however, and will oftentimes curse them with bad luck. To her, anyone who cheats at a game of luck directly insults her by attempting to usurp her power by trying to eliminate the power of chance.

Chaina will almost never back down from a gamble, so long as the stakes are relatively equal. Because of this, she attracts a large following of desperate individuals with nothing to lose, hoping to gain whatever they desire through playing against Chaina.

Worship
Chaina's followers tend to be far and few between. It's extremely rare to find temples or buildings dedicated to Chaina (outside of casinos or gambling dens). Instead, small shrines to Chaina are often built in the forms of wells or fountains. Followers will often drop coins or offerings into these shrines in hopes of gaining a small boon of luck.

Chaina's clerics almost universally follow the Luck Domain. Some rogues also follow Chaina, hoping for a blessing of supernatural luck. Other than that, gamblers and beggars often revere Chaina, again hoping for a blessing from the goddess.
