Lucaz, God of Trickery and Luck

Lucaz is one of the Eternal Nine Gods of Zemla.

Appearance- Lucaz appears as a youthful man of any race, average in appearance but attractive, generally considered "a bit too thin." Smiles frequently and has straight white teeth (or even white tusks, or bright sharp fangs, etc)

Birth- Nostrachrona and Nostrajes attempted to work side by side for a time, but found one another disagreeable. They joined to create Lucaz, hoping to create a little brother who would be their go-between. They took turns "raising" him, but he quickly learned that in order to get what he wanted, he had to twist their words against one another. Nostrachrona and Nostrajes eventually learned of Lucaz' deception and kicked him out of the heavens. His continued banishment is self inflicted.

Attitude and Interaction- As the patron god of performers, gamblers, and outcasts, Lucaz frequently appears when called by his true followers. It is said that before Krong takes you away, Lucaz appears before the worthy and tells them which parts of their life were especially interesting and what times he was present (special performances, big wins, surprise satchel of food and clothes in an abandoned house). When not with his followers, he likes to roam the land seeking out gullible people to perform for and rich gamblers looking for an "easy win."

Temples and Clerics- Lucaz' clerics are individual wanderers, rarely do one another meet. They wear comfortable clothes for travelling or bright clothes for performing. A single cleric may travel with numerous groups and caravans throughout his lifetime. There are no physical temples, but there are thousands of shrines, scattered across the wilderness and at crossroads. Shrines may be as simple as a random iron nail in a sign post or more complex: a collection of necessities in a crevasse in a mountain side, found only by luck.

Lucaz' holy symbol is two intersecting lines depicting a crossroads cast into a solid iron disc.
