Thestia

The village of Thesteia is actually a sanctuary around which are scattered farms and buildings closely related to the sacred temple of Karametra Chloe, she who makes the fields bloom. The village has a large influx of pilgrims from all over the peninsula, who come to ask the goddess for her gifts of fertility in fields and wombs. Many couples make a trip to the shrine after getting married and perform the famous Karametra rites here to bless them with healthy and strong children. The shrine is also the seat of the mystic cult of the goddess in Meletis. Faithful initiates are trained here in the goddess' secret ways related to fertility and then serve as priests of Karametra everywhere blessing crops and families.
