Quoth the Fortuni:

*Blows on the dice sensually.* “These dice aren’t the only things getting lucky tonight…”

Kith Excerpt:

The siren’s call of Vegas has both birthed and shattered the dreams of Americans. Hundreds of thousands flock to this gambling Mecca in a continuous cycle of loss and gain; the mortal dream of rewriting destiny with just a spin of the wheel or the pull of a lever has given rise to a uniquely American Kith in the form of the Fortuni. The kith is an all-female one, and each is a treasure unto herself.

These Lady Lucks, while obviously American, harken back to an archaic history that stretches back Millennia. They claim kinship to Fortuni Bona Dea, the Roman Goddess of luck and happiness, Tyche in Greek. With such a strong bloodline to feed their Glamour, the Fortuni ply their trades in both the biggest of casinos, and the seediest of back-alley craps games. While the Fortuni can join bands of other Changelings, and even leave their big cities for a spell – the bright lights and distant bells always calls them back.

Gifted with the ability to alter probability, they flit from loser to winner and back again, ensuring that the wheels of fortune spin smoothly. However, their gifts come with a cost. Those that abuse their power or risk too much face the 3 ladies of fate themselves.

“0 Fortuna Velut luna Statu variabilis Semper crescis Aut decrescis;
Vita detestabilis Nunc obdurate Et tunc curat Ludo mentis aciem.”

“O Fortune, like the moon you are changeable, ever waxing, ever waning.
Hateful life first oppresses and then soothes as fancy takes it.””
Fortuna I Mperatrix Mundi – From the Carmina Burrana
