Rylunel

Rylunel is the goddess of Luck and creator of the halfling race. She controls luck to an extent, but only partially, and her influence can only change the odds slightly, giving more opportunity for someone to succeed. She cannot remove the randomness, but she can influence likelihood.

The mythos around Rylunel are centered on her overcoming powerlessness. She, for one reason or another, wished to control the uncontrollable, luck. She saw how many things were founded on random circumstance, where no one could control. Seeing the power there, or wanting control over her own destiny fully, she began to control the concept of luck. She could only do this is small effects and can only influence the likelihood of outcomes, not remove the randomness.

The Halflings were created by Rylunel in order to further her research and become more powerful. She made the Halflings lucky, much less likely to suffer the effects of bad luck, and placed them randomly on Asem. They ended up in South Auedhon, in one of the most fertile parts of Auedhon. There they had few enemies and plenty of resources, and began to build small communities. Now they are one of the more powerful races outside the elves.

Rylunel is often associated with dice, cards, and other chance. It is said that playing cards with a follower of Rylunel is one of the biggest mistakes one can do, but most serious gamblers worship her in some way. Most of her temples are also casinos, where her blessing is given to the casino and not to any player, even if they do worship her.
