Waukeen the Golden Lady (wɑːʌˈkin wau-KEEN /)

Waukeen is a lesser deity known as the Merchant's Friend, Liberty's Maiden, and the Golden Lady. Her portfolio includes everything related to commerce and the accumulation of wealth through free and fair trade, as well as the beneficial use of wealth to improve civilization. Those that venerate and appease her included merchants from lowly peddlers to the wealthy owners of trading companies, investors, accountants, entrepreneurs, caravan guides, warehouse owners, philanthropists, deal-makers, moneylenders, and so on. Waukeen is also the goddess of illicit trade and the patron of many smugglers, fences, black marketeers, and "businessmen" on the shady side of commerce. Collectively, her worshipers are known as Waukeenar. Waukeen is an active and enthusiastic deity who enjoyes the ebb and flow of goods via commerce and the rapid pace of business in a thriving marketplace full of spirited bargaining—so much so that rumors of her presence at particularly intense negotiations involving one of her worshipers became legendary. Her side always gets the best bargain, but the other party usually walks away also feeling satisfied about the terms of the deal. Waukeen is driven to accomplish a goal and move on to the next one and, rather than being frustrated when the usual business practices fail to work out a solution, she is willing to try alternate methods. This manifests itself in her church sometimes allowing the ends to justify the means
