Eris

Eris is the embodiment of absolute chaos without regard to good or evil. She is sometimes known as Discordia, Strife, or Lady Luck. She exists as the apparent ruler of The Ever-Changing Chaos of Limbo and as mistress of lycanthropes and other shape changers. She grants her clerics the domain of Trickery.

Eris has been known and feared under many guises, perhaps even more than Samael, but is also known as a seductress who bestows wealth or destruction at the throw of a dice. She is revered by charlatans, criminals, and sailors.

Discovery
Eris has tormented and taught mankind since the beginning. Alternately teasing and tempting, she has been reported to have been seen dancing among ruined crops and winking behind unexpected harvests. Gamblers have called after her but rarely seen her mercy and sailors dread her mischief. Among all the primordial beings, she was the last to be discovered and even that is based as much on speculation and theory as anything else. She holds no court and is never to content to remain on her plane. Difficult as her avatars are to spot, they have been spotted everywhere even as far as the courts of Primus. It is this apparent omnipresence and sporadic appearances throughout history that has helped researchers to pin her down among the various gods as the ultimate expression of chaos.

Appearance
Eris has no consistent appearance, though she does tend to appear female and often incorporates parts of various animals into her shape, especially those with wings. She is not restrained by gravity, normal momentum, or even solid matter and hardly seems able to remain in one place. Those who deal with her are often befuddled by her tendency to suddenly blink from one location to the next, sometimes repeatedly, randomly, and rapidly. On the Prime Material she sometimes appears as a human of any description but with characteristically darting eyes and a mischievous grin. Her symbol is a random assortment of lines, the same as Limbo. Her clerics wear black and carry a bag of trinkets which they use both as a spellcasting focus and a teaching tool.

Worship
Eris makes no demands of her worshipers and promises no rewards except an escape from boredom. Her clerics sometimes invite followers on wild pilgrimages, stage bizarre orgies, or organize surreal flash mobs. They rarely meet in the same place twice and for good reason; any area they meet at is usually so messed up that few authorities or property owners will allow them to return. Each member who attends a Festival of Eris is expected to bring enough if they want to keep up with the festivities.
