Tanas

Tanas (TAN-iss) is a Deity, part of the Circle of Twelve.
Alternate names:Change Bringer
==The God of Trickery==
While some think of trickery as purely malicious, Tanas proves that untrue. Witnesses of a good performance or story told in a tavern are tricked into believing that they are experiencing the actual events. We are also tricked by the odds we can see, which sometimes causes us to make bad or rash decisions due to not having all of the information. Tanas oversees the areas of story, luck, and humor, and his symbol is that of a mask. One half is green, the other is brown. On the green side, the lips are curved upward in a smirk and the eye is in a wink. On the brown side, the lips are in a full smile and the eye is full and open.
Tanas listens to stories told around a mug and the gasps of a hall watching a performance. He also listens to every mortal whose music is sung. He can be found watching a rousing card or dice game, particularly when one player's luck is about to change. His followers include musicians, actors, story-tellers, poets, gamblers, and those who are down on their luck.
===Depiction===
Usually portrayed as a two headed traveller covered in books and instruments, Tanas is both a story-teller and musician himself. One head is smiling, listening to the story told by the other. He wears traveller's clothes with many packs hanging off of him.
