Artiana Aphrona

The Sacred Mother, the Moon Mother, the Lady of the Lakes

An archfey and sister of the Green Lord of the Seelie Court. After thousands of years of existence, Artiana finds little enjoyment in the affairs of her kind and thus, has no motivation to remain in the Feywild. Artiana is curious about the Material Plane and the beings the inhabit it. She's taken many mortal disguises over the centuries, both for her own amusement and to observe what life as a mortal is truly like. After so much time, she found that the mortal world was far more interesting than the Feywild, which caused her to stray further from her fellow fey.
The fey were ageless and far too fickle. They moved at their own lengthy paces, putting things off for ages. To powerful fey, there was no such thing as urgency. Even times of war were played out over thousands of years, either side refusing to make a move until they saw it necessary. The Feywild was a chaotic place and yet, Artiana felt it growing more and more stagnant with time. Mortals, on the other hand, had a limited time on their world. Affairs were dealt with in a timely manner, the fear of mortality often being the driving force behind many of their decisions.
They sought out thrilling adventures, they took risks, and they seldom considered the consequences until it was too late. Mortal life was like a fire, truly chaotic and unpredictable so long as the divines kept to themselves. Despite Artiana's deceptive and tricky nature, she chose to use her powers to live relatively normal lives. Whenever her cover was blown, she'd flee into the Feywild for several centuries, and emerge with a new identity. As of the present day, she lives as Grendishi Amall, an archdruid and healer. Unbeknownst to her fellow fey, she mothered a child with a mortal man.
Artiana was once a close friend of the Horned King before he was strung into the Unseelie Court. She often tried to convince him to remain out of the politics of the courts, but when he refused, she attempted to assassinate him. This was the first instance of her entering the Material Plane. Even with the formation of the Wild Hunt, Artiana was always one step ahead of him. To this day, the Horned King calls for her death.
Artiana is responsible for the creation of the Moonbeam bow, as well as the Moonglow flowers that grow in the Feywild and in isolated locations on the Material Plane. She's also the mother of nixies, Cat Sith, and calygruants. In some small communities on the Material Plane, she's worshiped as a goddess.

Tenets of Faith

Memories and Knowledge

The memories of ancestors and those that came before them can serve as a valuable lesson to those who exist in the present. Heed their warnings, absorb their teachings, and find meaning in their secrets.

Respect for Nature

To be kind to nature is to be kind to oneself. Hunt only for survival, never for sport. Let the wildlife remain wild, only stepping in to nurture what the hedonistic and greedy have broken. Become one with the environment and it will help you thrive.

Embrace the Dark

Darkness is not a fearsome creature nor something unknown. It is the signal of a new opportunity to rest in order to carry on down the path of personal growth and experience. Embrace what it has to offer, whether it asks for a smile or demands a struggle.

"Moon, mind, and magic as one."
