Misfortune

A god known as Misfortune, a son of the Aspect of death, Mortyl. The whereabouts of his fractured domain can found within the lower levels of the Tower of Aetius where he acts as a watcher.
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.
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. In recent times however he rarely, if ever, leaves the tower.
- 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 and mistresses over a long life, typically mortal. Great loss has also sent him in to a slumber for generations at a time.
- As the name might suggest, there is a curse that follows as a perpetual black mark to his fate and those that might share in it. Most may rightfully fear being within the primordial's presence alone.
