Altor of Athay

Altor Maŕakkal of Athay was an affluent businessman and later canon saint of merchants and wealth.
Born a halfling in the Burning Hills in the 1360s, he grew up in the town of Athay near the Fallo-Burning Hills border mountains, and began as a talentless fool. However, he soon turned his witlessness to his advantage by using his charm to sell exotic goods to people in the city of Sanctum - his reasoning being if he didn't know what he was selling, others wouldn't care either. It was incredibly successful work. His defining moment came when one night, arsonists burned down a large swathe of the Sanctum markets. Many people were to be homeless and without a livelihood. Instead, he used his massive wealth to rebuild their houses so they could keep living and working in the community.
After he died of gout in the early 1400s, he was made a Saint. His holy day was Ekalo 14th, and his icons were lucky coins or golden trinkets.
