Cult of the Lady of the Lake

The Lady is the embodiment and Goddess of Bretonnia, and worshipped by all that land’s nobles and knights. She exhorts all nobles to follow her strictures, and provides mysterious quests and visions to strengthen the realm. The nobles of Bretonnia are the best men and women in the world because of their adherence and cultivation of the Lady’s virtues. The Lady and her worship ensure that Bretonnia is unified, prosperous, free of evil, and well-led. She bestows many gifts on those who follow her: strength, wisdom, grace, and superiority over the common, ugly, and mundane.
