🕯️ Beshaba

Goddess of Misfortune, Bad Luck, and Inevitable Disaster

Beshaba is not worshiped—she is appeased. She represents the belief that bad things will happen, and the only question is whether you can divert her attention elsewhere.

Where Tymora inspires boldness, Beshaba punishes arrogance.
