The typical worshippers of Nephtlys, goddess of wealth, are
merchants, money-changers and thieves. She is neutral as to how
her worshippers obtain their wealth but her clerics are generally
seen as supporters of trade and civilisation.
Merchants
sacrifice to her in the hope of decreasing the risk of their journeys. In the
last thousand years her temples have become a focus for
banking with merchants being able to make deposits in one
temple and withdrawing them in a temple in another city. She has
temples or shrines in all the major cities of the known areas of Oerth.
Her sacred animal is the spider, large examples of which sometimes inhabit
her temples to discourage thieves. She is sometimes depicted herself in
spider-form
spinning webs of gold.
