Greek Mythology: Oceanid (Daughter of the Ocean)

Lin Xiang, who survived a plane crash, awoke in a state of chaos. A goddess on the verge of perishing entrusted her with the mission of rebuilding the continent of Faerûn and bestowed upon her all of her remaining essence, using her last strength to send Lin Xiang’s soul into the world of Greek mythology.

Emerging from the chaos, Lin Xiang fell into the primordial ocean, becoming one of the Oceanids—the daughters of the Titan Oceanus and the sea goddess Tethys. She was a sister of Metis and Eurynome, and was reborn as Tyche, the goddess of ocean currents and abundance.

Tyche often appeared with butterfly wings, wearing a crown, and holding a cornucopia overflowing with gold coins. Sometimes, however, she was depicted blindfolded, symbolizing the risks and uncertainties that accompany all desires, embodying the goddess of fate and chance. At other times, she manifested as mist and clouds, the benevolent goddess of rain and the water cycle.

She nurtured and raised Zeus with her gentle strength, acted as the generous giver of opportunities, yet also the impartial distributor of misfortune and fortune, and was revered by fishermen and farmers alike.

This marks her journey—returning to Faerûn as the fourth Goddess of Magic, vying for the supreme divine seat left behind by Io’s slumber, and rising as one of the primordial ancient gods.
