Cortessa

Cortessa is the patron goddess of merchants and courtesans and her realm of influence includes beauty, the arts, and mercantilism. She is less concerned with the fairness and honesty of the staid Cortesia and more interested in profits. Greed is part of her portfolio but generally not openly acknowledged.
==History==
The Schism: Worship of Cortesia/Cortessa was originally made to a single goddess and old images of the goddess Cortesia are shown with two faces. A schism within the temple has resulted in the rise of Cortessa’s temples and the destruction of many of the old two-faced icons. Rivalry between the two sects is intense and sometimes boils over into violence though the peace-keepers of the city are keeping a close watch on the two groups to ensure this happens rarely.
