LOK
The Prankster, Master of Luck, Patron of the Bards, The
Charmer
Chaotic Good
The Singing Temple
The somewhat fickle lord of luck and patron god of bards
is both praised and cursed with regularity. The god himself is said to
travel the realms enjoying the songs of bards, games of chance, and the
company of beautiful women. Only the Smirk, his High Priest, truly
knows, though the traveling Grin-Masters, his priests of charming
melodies and dance, often tell stories of his misadventures and sing of
his personal pranks. The temple-bound Luck-Masters are able to grant
temporary luck-enhancing blessings on those considered worthy,
donations are avidly accepted if one is found lacking in any way. The
temples provide santuary for bards and those against whom luck has
turned, though both are asked to grant a performance or service to
repay the debt. Lok (pronounced lock) is concerned with not only games
of chance and entertainment, he also is called to watch over merchants,
mercenaries and others who live by luck and chance, as well as being
the Master of Charms. The bards of Paran and the central kingdom are
separated from the celtic bards by their faith. The bards of Corell are
keepers of the knowledge of their people and have little use for Lok,
but the nearly faithless bards of the central regions are rogues and
adventurers. They call what favor they can from Lok and hope to gain
the chance to perform in the Singing Temple for the Smirk, who is
renown for his lavish gifts granted those who show true skill in the
arts of song, dance, and storytelling.
