History of the Fateful Coin gives some background information on the goddess of luck, Tymora, often called Lady Luck, and how this coin of hers affects those in the Realms.

A copy of this book is needed for Firebead Elvenhair's side quest in Beregost. It is sold at The Friendly Arm, Feldepost's Inn and Nashkel Store, but can also be found on a bookshelf of the house just south of Firebead's house.

Old tales tell that luck plays a crucial role in each person's life. When each newborn baby enters into the realms, Tymora flips a coin formed from the remnants of the original goddess of luck, Tyche. Beshaba calls it in the air—the moon (heads) or the cloak (tails). If Beshaba is right, that person is cursed with misfortune for the rest of his or her days. If she's wrong, Lady Luck smiles on that child for the rest of his or her life. For some rare beings, the coin lands edge on—and these luckless few can forge their own fates, for they have more freedom over their destinies than the powers themselves.
