Difference between revisions of "Hermes"

The Messenger of the Gods, '''Hermes''' was originally a [[Celani]] Who gambled with the [[Elder God|Elder Goddess]] [[Raclawice]] for Her godhood and won. He encompasses not only the realm She patroned but also those of gamblers and individuals blessed with Luck. In the game of [[Gambling|Blackjack]], dealers often laud those who score the coveted card combination for which the game is named as smiled upon by Hermes.

After a long period of absence from the realms during which He travelled many planes, He made His reappearance during the opening of a casino in [[Thera]]. Under the guise of a young mortal named '''Kalek''' (His avatar), He lured the Divine, including [[Maya]] Herself, into a game of dice; He won every toss to the disgruntled amazement of His Divine and mortal audience. By the third toss, the crowd had become quite adamant that there was foul play afoot, but the Great Mother simply laughed and hinted that there was more to the youth, who had won more than most would earn in a lifetime, than what meets the eye. At that, the Messenger God revealed Himself, inciting a mixed reaction of amusement and chagrin from the Garden and utter delight and cheers from mortalkind.
