Chaldira (The Calamitous Turn)Source Divine Mysteries pg. 134Chaldira Zuzaristan, the Calamitous Turn, is a plucky, impulsive goddess venerated primarily by halflings. She embodies two aspects halflings see in themselves: a strong affinity for luck and a bold determination to protect friends. Chaldira is hotheaded and cannot abide bullies in any form, and many of her worshippers are similarly impetuous, spoiling for any opportunity to leap fist-first at oppressors and tyrants. While many people consider this to be more of a vice than a virtue, Chaldira and her followers feel it is far better to run headlong into trouble than it is to meekly concede to evil out of fear or convenience. Chaldira is also the goddess of light-hearted mischief, insisting that harmless fun, even at others’ expense, brings joy and strengthens ties within a community. While not all of Chaldira’s followers are inveterate pranksters, most at least know some sleight-of-hand tricks.
Chaldira is most often depicted as a
halfling woman who matches the appearance of the local halfling community, with curly hair, freckles, and a patchwork red-and-green coat held together by several mismatched buttons. She is infamous for charging into situations with very little planning, trusting her indomitable spirit and lucky nature to see her through. So far, this has always worked out for the deity, if not always for her followers—a quirk that tends to infuriate more tactically-minded gods.
Chaldira’s church is very casual, with few formal priests; most congregations are led by lay priests who pursue a full-time job and work hard to preserve halfling customs, strengthen ties between neighbors, and lift the underprivileged in the community out of poverty. True clerics of Chaldira are responsible for running the church as a whole, as well as petitioning secular leadership for further laws that promote equality. Many Chaldirans support the Bellflower Network, a clandestine organization that labors to free halflings from slavery throughout the Inner Sea region, but principally in Cheliax.
Chaldira is a common companion of
Desna, but she considers herself a close friend of nearly all non-evil gods and delights in telling exaggerated tales of their escapades, particularly when such tales involve mischief or embarrassing situations. Even reserved deities such as
Erastil or
Irori often find themselves pulled into adventures by the irrepressibly friendly goddess— whether they like it or not.
Chaldira’s chief foe among the gods is
Thamir, an evil god venerated by desperate and misanthropic halflings. Divine scholars nonetheless note the two deities share many common traits: most notably a habit of solving their issues with violence, but also an impulsive nature, a love of mischief, and a preference toward the underdog. Followers of Chaldira do not shy away from the comparison, instead recognizing the similarities and trying to prevent the bitterness that can draw people into Thamir’s fold.

Source Gods & Magic - Web Supplement pg. 5Minor Boon: Once, you can choose the result of the next ordinary coin you flip or ordinary die you roll. If this ability is used for personal gain at the expense of someone innocent or less fortunate, Chaldira levies her moderate curse on you as punishment.
Moderate Boon: You gain a lucky impetuousness, allowing you to roll for initiative twice and use the higher result once per day. This is a
fortune effect.
Major Boon: Chaldira’s major boon grants truly improbable luck in combat. Your movement doesn’t trigger reactions. You always succeed at flat checks you make to hit opponents with attack actions; this is a fortune effect.
Minor Curse: Any time you refuse a request made in good faith, you vomit up a frog, mouse, or other small animal. This deals no damage and causes no conditions, but is obvious to all bystanders.
Moderate Curse: You are plagued with ill luck just when fortune is most needed. You must always roll flat checks twice and use the worse result. This is a
misfortune effect.
Major Curse: Ill luck causes even once-certain aid to fail with frustrating regularity. You cannot benefit from circumstance or status bonuses, or from fortune effects.
