Badite

Badite, often referred to as The Gambler, is one of the major deities on the planet of Sprin'Torel. Given that Badite represents good and bad luck, many pray to him but few actively worship him. Many carnivals and casinos boldly show his symbol on their tables or booths, encouraging people to test their luck.

As such, Badite doesn't have the best reputation, with many thinking that they can make their own luck, or that gambling is a waste of time. In spite of this, the number of people who never call on him in a time of dire straits is probably fewer than the number of cards in a deck.

Worshipers
While many who worship Badite are either serial gamblers or run establishments where people test their luck, there are a number of them who worship him purely because they believe that life is a chaotic ball of yarn and that luck is the only thing worth praying for. Though some consider these people cynics, they merely shrug, seeing their faith in him as a lone hope in the world.

Clerics
Clerics of Badite tend to charge head first into danger every chance they get. They're the front of every exploration party, taunting death and danger as they desire - and more often than not, they live long enough that this only reasserts their faith in him. While some think these clerics are suicidal, they are known for not only getting the job done, but for getting it done quickly.

Orders

 * Frontline
 * While many of the Frontline charge into battle out of a sense of protection and desire for people to stay safe, those who follow Badite tend to charge in because they believe that he will keep them safe. Many of the Frontline who worship Wedjun see these as a perversion of what the force stand for, but respect them because they know that there is strength in numbers and even if their reasons are flawed, it still takes courage to stand there.

Rites
As with all other religions, the worship of Badite involves many rituals and rites. While these are mostly for the sake of hoping for luck, there are some that are involved with praying for financial help. Below is an example of a prayer to Badite:"'I call forth the Power and your presence in my time of financial trouble. I offer my body, heart, mind and soul upon your altar of light. I have faith and trust and complete confidence that you will be my strength in this time of need. Quickly come to my assistance. Bring to me good fortune. My financial need is urgent. Be my Light and Guide in this situation so that I may live with peace, love, prosperity and abundance in your presence.'"
