Artemis

The Greek goddess of the hunt, wild places, young life, and guarded boundaries.

Legend File

Artemis rules edges: forest and city, childhood and adulthood, safety and sudden punishment. She is a huntress and protector, but her protection is fierce, especially where vows, modesty, animals, or young lives are violated. Her myths make wilderness feel sacred rather than empty, a place where humans must remember they are guests.
