[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 9155672, member: 5948"] I'm no expert on Taladas lore but you're going to have trouble with your selection of gods. In Krynn of course all arcane spellcasters get their powers from the three moon-gods of magic, and neither Chosen nor divine soul sorcerers are really a thing that syncs well with that But you could just skin it as a cleric with unusual powers, or else maybe some god is trying to sneak one of their people into the Orders of High Sorcery for some reason. The god of lies in Krynn is Hiddukel, who is pretty unambiguously evil. One way you could play it is that your character has unwittingly drawn the attention of Hiddukel who for some reason of his own is trying to drag her further into more proactive and dedicated evil. Another way you could go is with Reorx. He's actually neutral, mostly a god of craft but he's also worshipped by gamblers and rogues. But that's not so much about lying as such, it's more about being the god of risktakers, those who take chances in service of hoping to achieve something great. Liars for the sake of lying isn't really a fit there. But honestly, I've always thought this aspect of Reorx was a bit tacked-on and inconsistent, probably because the designers wrote the pantheon and then thought 'oopsie, I forgot to put in a god who non-evil rogue PCs could worship!' The third way i can think of is to have her follow Branchala. Branchala's the god of art and music and beauty, so you might be able to spin it that your PC is really a storyteller, crafting her persona and telling lies to teach or entertain or just generally make life more pleasant and interesting for people listening.
