Priesthood of Artemis

Overview

The Priesthood of the Artemis consists totally of Druids in Atlantis, this Priesthood will always work together with Apollonian Priests. The two groups strongly assist one another and will never side against each other.

Symbol

The Holy Symbol of Artemis is a bow in front of the crescent moon.

Chronic Anachronism Control

Artemis through the phases of the moon already had a strong link to the rhythm of time and this event of losing Chronos has enhanced her power greatly. It is thought that recent events happening to the moon were in fact attempts to reduce her growing power. But if anything, it has enhanced her power. The phases of the different changes to the moon have enhanced her control over the metronomic rhythm.

The Druids of Artemis have no extra requirements.
