Tymora (pronounced tie-MORE-ah ), is the Goddess of Good Fortune in the fictional world of Toril, in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. Ed Greenwood created Tymora for his home Dungeons & Dragons game, loosely inspired by the Greek deity Tyche.

Description
Tymora is a sister to Beshaba, the goddess of misfortune, having been created when Tyche, the former deity of luck, was infected by Moander's evil essence, and split apart by Selûne. She is commonly revered by adventurers and others who rely on a mixture of luck and skill to achieve their goals. She is also a known ally of the demipower Finder Wyvernspur.
