Cheese eel lore when?

First and foremost, Fortuna isn't real in the game. If you go to Midas' Cave, even on a friday, she will Not be there. I'm saying this because people keep thinking Fortuna is a real character in the game but she's not. Also, i cant do read mores without everything breaking, so i apologize for the wall of text.

Fortuna is the Golden Goddess of Luck, Wishes and Riches. Commonly called Lady Luck by most people, Miss Fortuna by Midas out of respect and nicknamed Tuna by various people. Fortuna is an OLD goddess, in her own words, she's old enough to remember the flow of time being a mere creak. For most of her life, she was traveling all over, spreading luck, granting wishes and adding things to her collections. But unlike many gods, Fortuna typically didn't make a big show out of her appearances, hiding away in caves and wells due to simply not liking being around many people for long times and being a Gigantic Golden Eel Goddess kinda draws a lot of attention. Fortuna is autistic and very, very large, made out gold thats always kinda soft and melty but never actually dropping off of her.

Many Gods herd their followers with a watchful eye, stricking fear into their hearts to keep them compliant, but not Fortuna. Fortuna believes in being kind and caring to everyone, giving safety to even the most dangerous of gods if they ask for shelter. Yes, it definitely has bitten her in the tail quite a few times but that doesnt stop her from being kind, from granting wishes to mortals and gods alike. The only exceptions would be wishes relating to herself such as love proposals and negative wishes such as self harm and death. Fortuna has no interest in romance and romantic relations and the last time she fulfilled a large amount of negative wishes, it birthed a god of bad luck and fears.

Over her many travels, Fortuna has amassed a large collection of various artifacts. some were won in games and fights against powerful individuals, others are objects of mass destruction and thus kept away from the world, others are bodyparts and full creatures preserved in jars for various reasons, others are gifts, offerings and sacrifices given to Fortuna, all cherished and well remembered over the eons. The most important part of her collection is her graveyard of golden statues. Each statue has been crafted by the goddess herself using purest of gold and the remains of the individual. Most statues are of other gods that have crossed her path and met their end for various reasons. Some statues are of mortals for the very same reasons. Fortuna treats mortals and gods with equal kindness and respect, even in death. Gods are usually only remembered in their long lives, the moment they die, mortals move on and forget their gods. But as an ancient goddess, Fortuna honours the death of each and every god and mortal in her golden graveyard because no one else is there to remember them. If she ever shows you her collection, you are bound to have her infodump for hours and hours about each piece with loving detail. Fortuna calls people (my) dear and dearest.

If challenged to a fight, Fortuna will either play more than seriously fight, allowing you to survive, or she goes for a quick kill, biting her opponent with her powerful flat teeth. She can extend smaller versions of herself from her mouth like a Xenomorph for better biting. Despite her ability to draw out a large amount of hands from all over her long body, she doesnt use any weapons. Being Luck in person, Fortuna doesn't lose. She can easily heal her own wounds with gold in her cave.

Fortuna has two relatives. Her little sister Paidia, Goddess of Gambling and Addiction, co-creator of games of chance such as knucklebones. Paidia lived for many years together with Fortuna in what later became the lands of the Old Faith, statues of her hidden all over, but she decided to leave long before the bishops ever came into being. While Paidia built her own grand city akin to Las Vegas called Schatzstadt, bright and full of addicting fun times, many beliefs that used to belong to her were slowly attributed to her older sister Fortuna such as the creation of games of chance. But neither mind much, the two sisters are on very good terms, calling eachother Payday and Tuna affectionately despite having not had contact since going seperate ways. Paidia is a huge flirt, commonly seducing mortals for her own amusement. Paidia fucks, ok. Someone in the family had to. Similar to Fortuna, Paidia collects pictures of interesting visitors, be it other gods, powerful and important mortals, successful players of her games or simply just a charming guest. If you manage to beat or impress her, you may make a request. She's not a wish granter like Fortuna but Paidia has her ways of getting what she wants and needs. Information is her specialty but she loves to gamble with it. Tell her something new and she might share small info bits that you need. Be glad to leave her city with a vague description of Fortuna's whereabouts, the fact you're leaving at all speaks for itself. Paidia gives people many flirty nicknames, many of which are food themed (sugartits, hunk of meat, full course seafood platter).

Fortuna has a son, born from a time where people wished for horrible things. For a storm to destroy the school because they're afraid of failing a test. For someone to get injured as petty revenge. For death. All these negative wishes came in such high amounts, they made Fortuna horribly sick. When Fortuna threw up a large mass of pitch, she started losing consciousness. and in those moments, the pile of pitch rose, spread wings and flew away. That is Gustav Mandela Angel Pechvogel, God of Bad Luck and Fears. While he shares Fortuna's deep brown eyes, his smile is fake and simply just how his lower beak looks like. Gustav, just like his mother, travels the world, spreading bad luck wherever he goes. He played part in many disasters, especially if it involves people of power. Gustav firmly believes that his mother doesnt care about him, so he tries to suck up to anyone while completely wrecking them with fears and stress and anxiety, possibly projecting his own insecurities onto the individual while manipulating them. Gustav enjoys watching the explosion but will leave shortly after, not wanting to be caught in the aftermath. Fortuna isnt aware of Gustav's existence. He calls people Darling.

As long as someone wishes for it, Fortuna can do it. Not even bringing people back from the dead is impossible, but a full body or even just bodyparts nake it easier. Any missing parts will be replaced with gold. Objects given by Fortuna are blessed to work beyond hood, a soup laddle always serving enough for everyone, a sword never missing its needed target, an unbreakable shield that protects frm everything. On the occasion someone wishes for a child, that child will bear Fortuna's brown eyes and a large smile. The children of those children will have brighter eyes with every generation until they have bright golden eyes. Fortuna typically blesses people and objects by licking them due to not being really able kiss.

When the bishops came to the lands Fortuna had her mainstay in, she decided to stay and hide away while many other gods tried to challenge the bishops to no avail. While many gods died or left the lands, many were too weak to flee and didnt wish to die, so Fortuna offered them all shelter in her gold filled cave and her beloved wishing well. As time went on, the few followers she shared with the other gods slowly dwindled into nothing, leaving them all with no devotion. Fortuna stayed strong thanks to her gold healing and strengthening her, and people were still making wishes all over the world, but that didn't stop some of the other gods from going into a deep sleep they will never wake up from.

One day, a starfish with golden eyes stumbled into the cave. Banished from Anchordeep for daring to steal from the bishop of plagues, the starfish throws a wish into the well. Fortuna whispers to him to return to the beach, where he will find treasures in a wrecked ship. If he decides to bring those treasures back into the cave, he will receive far more than any ship or squid could ever carry. And so, the starfish returns, sharing the treasures with his new gods. Placing a crown from the ship wreck treasure on his head, the Golden Goddess renames the starfish Midas. The nameless Minor God of Health binds Midas' life to the gods, granting him immortality as long as he doesnt fall in a fight. In return, the gods gain a devoted follower that will take care of them until they all are freed. Until the bishops are dead. Midas is taught by Fortuna to be kind and caring to all no natter what, which blooms well in the starfish.

Rumors spread throughout Silk Cradle, of gods hiding away in the Cave of Midas. The bishop of war searches for the cave to prove these rumors wrong. Midas shoves Shamura into the well and a godly bloodbath happens. Some gods die or are badly and Shamura barely manages to escape the well and cave, yet they decide to come back. At first, their goal is to get rid of those gods but over time, the bloodlust makes way for conversations. During their many fights, Fortuna kept talking to Shamura, not taking it seriously and playing with the small crown bearer. Offering to heal the spider so that no one grows suspicious, Shamura gets to talking with Fortuna and Midas over tea. Conversations the god of war needed but couldn't have with their siblings.

Over time, the spider and the eel grow close in ways neither could describe and it scares the other gods. Fearing Fortuna would betray them and throw them all to their death at the bishop's claws, they plead to Midas to do something. A plan is created, each and every god is sealed in the wishing well as Fortuna sleeps to their own protection, the seal breaking only when the bishops all have died. Midas isnt good with magic, hurting himself during the sealing while Fortuna asks him to take good care of himself. The starfish awakens next to a gold filled well with the spider bishop overlooking him, their head wrapped in bandages. Shamura stops visiting the cave soon after, Midas isnt why they kept visiting.
