Description:

The Goddess of Luck and Fate. She is the sister of Titan. It is believed that she is a member of one of the original families of the Gods created by the Primal Deities. In her case, her family is believed to have been created by Ashra and Vuh. She is also the leader of the Hall of Mind and along with Hamaskis, is the only member of the Hall of Mind to also be considered one of the Greater Gods. She is the mother of Libra, Usrel and Asrel. Some religions believe that Lord Moon was Sindla’s husband, for as her brother was attracted to the light of Glantanka, the more enigmatic light of The Moon captivated Sindla.

Called Cheelah in Kakhabad, Gredd in Ruddlestone and Brice, Avana in Northern Allansia, Lady Luck and Mistress Fate in Frostholm (in fact sometimes Lady Luck and Mistress Fate are seen as two separate deities) and Zaragillia in Arantis. Other names include Castis, Bismen and Juvenar.

She is a favourite God for appeals and blessings. Sindla is also worshipped by Orcs and bestows her favour on them. Many peoples, for instance the Lendleland peasantry or the peoples of Arantis, pray to her for favourable weather believing that as Goddess of Fate she may be able to influence the relevant Gods.

Sindla is often depicted as an aged but handsome woman. Her symbol is a pair of dice. Her temples will be domed, topped with a statue of the Goddess. Her priests, who may well be encountered as adventuring priests, will be dressed in the Goddess’s sacred colour, White.
