Description:

According to the legends, Lulham came to the abode of the gods in the guise of a young man, and in that guise convinced the gods of magic and artifice to teach them all they knew. He then used that knowledge to embark on such an orgy of tricks and pranks that, for the first and last time, the gods united as one to expel him to the Prime Material. Since then, he has wandered the earth, inspiring architects and artificers and enchanters with his knowledge and forever smiling at the results.

Lulham's goal is to inspire the creation of convoluted mazes, elaborate traps, and cursed and prankish magical items. He finds embarrassment, inconvenience, and painful, messy death equally amusing outcomes.

His only ally among the gods is The_God_Of_Irony. The two are said to have created the first Wish spell together, and often collaborate. He is disliked by nearly every other god, and vehemently hated by the Lawful ones.

Lulham can take any form. His only distinguishing characteristic is that he can never entirely stop smiling. This can be disconcerting, particularly when he takes animal form.

Lulham's only symbol is a simple drawing of a smiling face. It is seldom seen, for he has no worshipers, although apprentices honor him with their pranks, whether they know his name or not. Those who manage to use wishing magic without unintended consequences can attract his attention, which while not always lethal is guaranteed to be whimsical.
