Artemis (AR-tuh-mis)
(a.k.a. the Apex Venator)
Artemis embodies untamed beauty, hunting prowess, and the protective spirit of the wilds. She presides over the primal essence of the forests and the creatures that inhabit them. Her followers include hunters, archers, and those who find solace in nature's embrace. Her presence resonates within the howls of wolves, the rustle of leaves, and the scent of earth. Temples dedicated to Artemis are simple structures found deep within ancient groves.
