Please enter a description:<a href=gallery/p_fortun.gif><img src=gallery/t_fortun.gif align=right ALT="Planet Fortunatis"></a> Fortunatis is officially considered the sixth planet from the sun, although in truth its orbit is highly irregular, thus throwing off attempts at accurately assigning numeric positions to the nine known planets of the solar system. Its appearance changes wildly as well, in color and (if one has rare telescopic equipment), surface pattern, as viewed from Sinai. <p> Fortunatis is one of the worlds that has been visited through the Gateway Tower, and it is reported that its surface does indeed change regularly, and it is deemed so unstable that it has been declared quarantined by authority of the Rephidim Temple. (The Kampfzengruppe and the Khattan Emirate are more in a position to have authority over the Gateways, but it seems that they have agreed with the Temple's assessment on this matter, as no further expeditions have gone there, to anyone's knowledge.) <p> The planet is strongly associated with matters of luck and fate and is a factor in all sorts of popular attempts at telling portents of the future. Its "official" name changes regularly, as determined by the Sphere of Chaos (Chaos, Sphere of), to which it has special meaning. However, since the average citizen isn't able to or interested in keeping up with these seemingly random name changes, it is commonly known as "Fortunatis". <p> Fortunatis is also one of many names for the god of luck (good and ill) and wealth, in the Olympian Pantheon. Fortunatis is often depicted as a "trickster god", though in myth he seems to compete with Ariel for this role.
