Mereen

Mereen: The Trickster

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

God of trickery and deceit

During the creation of the races Ragnar and Lothgar were tricked. Mereen(pronounced may-reen(as in seen)) the Trickster convinced them to help him with his race. Neither god knew the other had been asked to help. Using their power the trickster created the first chimeras, stealing parts from other god's creations he tried to make a race of creatures stronger than any other.

The gods decreed that the chimeras be destroyed, but the trickster be allowed to create another race in return. Lothgar carried out this sentence without question, killing every Chimera he could divine, while Ragnar argued with the council, claiming that his power had been dampened by Mereen's use. Ragnar left afterwards vowing revenge against the trickster. When the trickster wasn't looking Ragnar turned his creations into the oozes. Dismayed the trickster asked to be allowed to start over, but the council decreed that since his creations were not rebelling against him he could not destroy them to start anew.

Mereen decided that if he couldn't have a true race he'd disrupt the other gods' races, and get followers from among them. He abandoned the oozes for they could not worship him as he desired and they lost their intelligence and culture, becoming the creatures we now know.

Traits
He enjoys his title as the god of trickery and deceit, giving out boons to his followers to play tricks on others, but then just as the follower comes to rely on the boon he is just as likely to take it away. Mereen will almost always grant the boon if it is to subvert justice and almost never if it is to stop another's trick.

Planar Home
Mereen owns a subplane where the slightest thought can become reality, thinking of pie might create a pie in front of you, while a companion wondering if it is poisoned will make it so.

Aspects
Mereen is seen in three aspects depending on the person and their ideals. The Lawful Good worshipers who see themselves as lawbreakers for the good of the people would pray to and receive help from the Charitable Bandit. Neutral worshipers who are out for themselves would see themselves more in line with the Trickster. Evil worshipers who are out not only for themselves, but to hurt others would see more in line with the Liar.
