The Congregation of Heartia
The Congregation of Heartia is a religious following dedicated to the worship of the goddess of Agriculture and the Hunt. Its members are primarily farmers, hunters, and those who rely on the land for their livelihood. The Congregation emphasizes the importance of living in harmony with nature and treating the land with respect.
Central to the faith is the belief that Heartia provides for her followers, but also demands that they care for the earth and its creatures. The Congregation celebrates the changing seasons and honours the cycle of life and death that sustains all living things. They believe that by living in balance with the natural world, they can ensure a bountiful harvest and a healthy ecosystem.
The Congregation is led by a High Priest/ess, who is believed to be the direct voice of Hartia. They gather in small, rural communities and hold regular ceremonies and festivals to honour the goddess and give thanks for her blessings. The Congregation also emphasizes community and caring for one another, recognizing that in order to thrive, individuals must work together for the common good.

Structure
Whilst the organization is mostly made of farmers, hunters and the like, there are those that devote their lives to the faith and formerly enter the faith, taking on an official position in the Congregation and moving about the countryside, bestowing blessings on those they feel have held with the tenets of Hartia. These individuals are known as the Priests and Priestess' of Hartia and whilst each has their own flair with which they enact their ministrations, they all hold the teachings of the Scrolls of the Heartland as the final say on on all matters.
