Aristophane, Goddess of Fauna

Aristophane, Goddess of Fauna, was a godkin serving in Vitalinus' court until she became a goddess c. 3000 BDC. She is called the Menagerie by those who deify her, which include druids and those valuing animal life. She rules over all the realms in Alympos as its Godqueen.

Tenets of Faith

The first followers of the God-Queen Aristophane were strict vegetarians. They believed that Aristophane could appear to them as any animal at any time, or send any animal as her messenger. They dared not risk causing harm or offending their goddess, so resolved to swear off all meat for fear of crossing any line and to respect her creatures. As time went on these beliefs changed many times and still differ among groups, though vegetarianism has remained for many as a tradition. The prevalent belief in the present is that if Aristophane appeared as a beast she would have bright red ears or a streak of red between the eyes.

Personal history

Originally serving as a goddess in the court of her mother Vitalinus, Aristophane began to philosophically diverge from others in her mother's court when she was charged with overseeing all of the animal life in Aedelor. With the help of her occasional consort Sirae, she successfully became powerful enough to establish her own court and win the support of many other deities that seek harmony in all places of the cosmos. Aristophane carefully maintains a balance of beasts in Aedelor by constantly living as them. It can be said that all fish in the sea, birds in the air, or creatures that prowls the lands of Aedelor are made in the image of Aristophane, who may appear as any of them. She taught the first dragons how to change their form as she did, who in turn eventually taught shapechanging to the first druids.
