Loke

The god of strife and the god of deception making Him the god of illusionists. Loke is not a typical god. He is considered a 'humble' god in the sense that He is never pompous. He allows his worshipers not to acknowledge him, and when He visits Middle Earth He rather appears as a sprite or an intelligent rat than as a cloud raining thunder. The gospel of Loke is that the clever should rule the world. Laws and other rules are a kind of deception, they are terms set down by those who won yesterday so that they may win today too. So in order to achieve fairness you can be forced to cheat and break the law. If you're discovered, then you didn't do it well enough and didn't deserve any better. If you're not discovered, then none's the wiser and everybody's happy. Loke is a mischievous god, but his followers see His maliciousness as a sign of dissatisfaction with an unfair world. The desire to make trouble is a sign of longing for freedom. In Pellas and Grone Loke is seen as a god of children, and in some locations his holy day is a big festival when the children wear costumes and go about making trouble. In the League of Cityports Loke is not that different from the other gods. In the League His aspect of being the illusionists' god is emphasized and even when worshiped as the god of cunning His appears more like a problem-solver than as a prankster. Though Loke is not an unpopular god, his true worshipers are more or less restricted to illusionists, swindlers and unfaithful husbands. But most consider a small sacrifice if they want a particular 'white lie' to go unnoticed. Few temples are dedicated solely to Loke, of these the main temple is located in the Arhanas 30 miles northwest of Koira. This temple was founded in the 5th century, but was not publicly known before the founding of Koira. According to local legend Kril Shandor, Koira's founder, took refuge there.
Holy day: December 15th in the Arhana temple. Symbol: Flame - usually with a face, open hand holding flame, child or derisive laughter (not in eastern Bandagora)
