Misfortune

Written recordings of Misfortune's appearance are typically inconsistent.

A god known as Misfortune, a grandchild of the Aspect of Death, Mortyl. The whereabouts of his fractured domain can be found within the lower levels of the Tower of Aetius where he acts as a watcher. This plane is known as the Sea of Swords, and it is said that each time a person falls in battle, a grave will appear here with their true name and the date of their death.

The desperate, grieving, and oppressed might see Misfortune as a last gambit to their woes, those in search of vengeance, retribution, or just willing to give it all away. It is not entirely uncommon for tributes of worship to be offered at the step of the runegate that few are permitted by the primordial to walk through.

The driving motivations behind Misfortune and their link to the Tower of Aetius is uncertain, but they're considered an S-Level threat by the established nations of Meranthe.

Rumors

The validity of these claims is up to speculation.

• Misfortune has served as an advisor on a number of courts under various personas, often to a detrimental effect.
• During the reign of Joseph Aetius the primordial was an adversity and was supposedly killed.
• The god is a hedonist, a love for the finest things with a treasure trove that would make most nobles envious. People are no exception: he has had several wives, husbands, mistresses and other lovers over a long life, typically mortal. Great loss has also sent him in to a slumber for generations at a time.
• As the name suggests, there is a curse that follows as a perpetual black mark to his fate and those that might share in it. Most fear being within the primordial's presence alone.
