Tyche

Tyche was the original goddess of fortune. An ancient goddess, she was part of both the greek pantheon and the Netherese pantheon. She was split into Tymora (goddess of good luck) and Beshaba (goddess of misfortune) during the Dawn Cataclysm.

History

Tyche was originally part of the greek pantheon, but somehow she fell on disfavor with the rest of the greek deities, who thought less of her, and at some point even wanted to get rid of her. Rejected by her former allies and in order to survive, she fled to the sphere of Abeir-Toril and became part of the Netherese Pantheon. When Tyche returned to the Upper planes, she found Selûne, Lathander, and Azuth waiting to speak to her in hopes to help fix her relationship with the Morninglord. However, the three gods saw the corruption destroying her. Unable to help her in any other way and weeping tears of sorrow, Selûne lashed at her dear friend and destroyed her with a bolt of purifying light. After she died, her essence split in two different entities.[9] From Tyche's rotten corpse emerged two new goddesses, opposing sides of the same coin: first Tymora, embodying all that was pure and good in Tyche, and later Beshaba, a representation of her darker side.
