Ralishaz is the god of Chance, Ill Luck, Misfortune, and Insanity. His holy symbol is three sticks of bone.

Description

Ralishaz's appearance constantly shifts and changes, from beautiful to hideous, male to female, or any other combination.

Relationships

Ralishaz is allied with Kurell, despised by Norebo, and opposed by Rudd.

Realm

Ralishaz's realm in Limbo is called the Kiss of Luck.

Dogma

Ralishaz proclaims that order does not exist, only random chance. Insane people are the ones who are most in tune with the true nature of the universe.

Worshippers

Ralishaz's church is prevalent in Ull and the Bandit Kingdoms.

Clergy

Ralishaz's clerics tend to display fatalism and stoicism mixed with recklessness and wild endeavor. They see little point in being kind to anyone, since that person will eventually be cursed with bad luck.

Rituals

Worship services to Ralishaz include playing semi-random notes on musical instruments, babbling paeans, casting augury spells, and wild interplays of light and darkness, heat and cold, noise and quiet.
