Coin Teller
"In the trade ports and tide-choked alleys of the Straits of Irithai, the Coin Teller makes their fortune not in labor, but in implication. They are fortune-weavers, card-turners, and secret-keepers who know how to read the room-and the runes. Some sell readings like incense in the streets. Others advise criminal captains and ghost-haunted nobility alike."
"Every word has a weight. Every glance is a gamble. In a city where truth can sink you and lies are currency, the Coin Teller thrives. Whether trusted seer or charming fraud, they trade futures like coins-knowing full well the cost"
Origin
- You were trained or raised among Irithai’s mystics and gamblers—reading omens, playing cards, and dealing in secrets.
- You learned how to control a conversation with your tone, tilt a fortune with flair, and twist belief with nothing but a whisper.

|---|---|---|---|
I never answer a question directly if I can help it. |
Influence - Real power lies in belief. If they think I see the future, I do. |
I gave a reading that changed someone's fate-for better or worse. They still follow me. |
I believe my own lies. |
I make everything sound like a prophecy, even if I'm just guessing. |
Mystery - If no one knows who I am, I'm doing it right. |
I own a deck I don't remember acquiring. It whispers sometimes. |
I gamble compulsively. If it jingles, I'll wager it. |
I always watch people's hands. That's where the truth lies. |
Chaos - The world is a game of chance, and I always bet on the storm. |
I once pulled the same omen for three captains-and all sank within a week. |
I won't admit when I don't know something-I just make it sound true. |
I collect false names like some people collect coins. |
Community - I read fortunes because people need hope-even false hope. |
I hide my true name. Only one person knows it, and they disappeared in the Mist. |
I once read my own future and didn't like the result. I've been trying to change it ever since. |
I love testing who believes in fate-and who just pretends to. |
Balance - I don't choose the cards. I just interpret the truth they show. |
I stole a sacred coin. Now someone-or something-wants it back. |
I steal from my clients if they ask the wrong questions. |
I lie about what my cards mean. It's more fun that way. |
Legacy - One day, my deck will be famous. Or cursed. |
A rival reader hexed me to always draw the same card unless I pay a debt I can't remember. |
I treat my friends like clients, always waiting for them to leave. |
