Religion Athena

• Paths: Society
• Patron of: clan Artificers

Athena is the goddess of military cunning, invention, and progress. Unlike the mad Ares, Athena is averse to excessive bloodshed. She helps mortals wage war more efficiently, using strategy, wisdom, and advanced technology, which is why she is patron of the Society path rather than Fury. Followers of her cult depict Athena as a helmeted warrior maiden with a long spear, or in the form of an owl, symbol of wisdom.

• Paths: Society
• Gifts: while you bear Athena's mark, your defensive skills grow stronger, your blows land truer and harder, you gain health and resist magic better. The goddess also teaches you two arts your class lacks, at full mastery: one of defence (parry, dodge, endure, cross block or counter) and one of tactics (escape, bash, trip, grab, dirt kicking or blind fighting)
• Sacrifices: Athena likes to receive good weapons or armor as sacrifice. Of drinks, prefers wines.

By tradition, followers of Athena's cult make pilgrimages to Mount Olympus, where they offer praise to their wise patroness.
