Specialty Priests of Fortuna call themselves The Priests of Fortune. The majority of Fortuna’s followers above 0^th level are either simple clerics or mercenary men-at-arms. Her holy symbol is a coin bearing an image of the goddess on one side and a wheel of fortune on the other. Followers of Fortuna often tithe as much as 25% of their income to temples of Fortuna. No one is sure where the money goes, but often a cleric of Fortuna who just happens to have a specific spell memorized will stumble upon a devout believer in Fortuna just as he or she needs that spell.

Relationships with Other Priesthoods:  Everyone tries to get on the goodside of priests of fortune.

Pantheon Mondays: Eris, Fesin

Eris

Greater Goddess                                                                                                                                                                         Chaotic

Portfolio: Chaos

The Priests of Eris are regular Clerics, but they have no true holy symbol, usually using the "cover" of another faith and a different faith's holy symbol.  Strangely, it works without penalty.

Relationships with Other Priesthoods: The cult of Eris has invested time and energy in convincing other temples that their faith doesn’t actually exist. This makes it hard to have any relationship with other priesthoods.

Specialty Priests of Fesin call themselves The Silken Hand of Destiny, they are virtually indistinguishable from thieves and are subordinates to clerics of Mercurius. A tattoo of a circle intersected by two lines is upon their left palm, so many wear gloves.

Relationships with Other Priesthoods: The Leolians and the Silken Hand/Tongue of Destiny (followers of Mercurius and Fesin) loathe each other, but both will tend to resort to manipulation of a legal system to fight each other over physical combat.

Druids, Clerics and Specialty Priests of Eos all call themselves Eosians, although the specialty priests are known as “First order of Eos” within their temples. They wear bright colors, often with robes or capes that fade from blue-black at the top to pale yellow at the bottom. The holy symbol of Eos is a coin-like disc with a clear sphere of Citrine in the center. Eos also has druids and normal clerics. Druids of Eos can turn undead, and in addition to the normal druid spheres have major access to the sun sphere. Druids and normal clerics of Eos also get the same level bonus as specialty priests when turning undead damaged by sunlight. Druids of Eos practice in a solitary way and do not form groups, although druids of Eos in an area with many druids may participate in their rituals. Druids of Eos may not use druidic poisons.

Relationship with Other Priesthoods: Clerics of Eos tend to be apolitical, although many cities build shrines and temples to their goddess in the hopes of attracting them (and their potent resurrection spells.) Eosians
