Lu Tong is actually three Goddesses who are one. She? Decides the individual fates of mortal man. Lu Tong (Oriental: - ‘The Three’) has three names and three distinctive personalities. The first is Clotho (The Spinner) the second is Lachesis (The Lot Drawer) and the last is Atropos (the Inevitable).


Lu Tong is a strange outerworld deity rumoured to be sister to Anubis who was greeted by Ome-te Llest when Eä was shaped.  She is the confused personality of three birth spirits whose original purpose was to look after the first of Ome-te Llest’s children (the Gods). The three birth spirits were responsible for laying down the Lot of each individual at birth.


There is a lot of conjecture as to how the sisters become as one. Some say it was the powers of belief of mortal man believing they were one that melded them together, others say Ome-te Llest failed in his creating, and others still believe that Pharastus corrupted them before they could enter the world in an attempt to destroy the hopes of mortals.


Whatever Lu Tong’s history she has a wide roll to play in the eastern lands and her powers are no way clear nor have they been adequately quantified by the priesthood.  The big question in eastern religious debate is ‘Is Feng Po greater than Lu Tong or subject to her?’ or ‘Can Feng Po, by persuasion alter whatever Lu Tong decrees?’


Indeed there has been a few times where Feng Po has been stronger but the argument is:

‘Is just Feng Po acting out the fate decreed to him by Lu Tong at his birth?’


Lu Tong is envisaged as three old women spinning out men’s destinies like a thread. She (they?) dresses in a white, blood stained cloak and has long pointed claws on her elderly hands. In her three aspects and at the same time she/they act thus, Clotho drawing the yarn out, Lachesis cutting them to length and Atropos cutting them off.


Lu Tong in the form of Atropos has very good relations with Mirkos, to whom she passes the spirits of the dead in person.


SYMBOL

There is no specific symbol to Lu Tong but priests adorn themselves in anything that reminds them of their fate i.e. Bones, Bloodstained faces, Mirkos Symbols, etc.


WORSHIP

Doomistic depressive people and Schizophrenic’s are the religion base of Lu Tong. Thy wander the lands preaching doom and gloom to all that will listen. A Lu Tong priest fears death but knows it is inevitable so will never protect their own life.


TEMPLES

None. Followers of Lu Tong wander the lands in a divine frenzy of schizoid personalities. Thus no permanent shrines have ever been erected. By this virtue Lu Tong priests are forbidden the use of the consecrate ground skill


HOLY DAYS

None


FRIENDS AND ENEMIES

Lu Tong follower’s hate all priests of healing deities as they go against the work of Lu Tong. Slowing the good work of Atropos.


CULT REQUIREMENTS

Anyone who is crazy enough or depressed enough can join, no one will bother to stop them. The cult will take anyone.
