Description
Greek goddess of War and Wisdom, Athene was 'born' fully armed and armoured. Chaste and controlled, she enjoyed more victory than the impulsive Mars. However, war was not her main forte, as she won with wisdom. A symbol of protection, she caries the aegis shield, and gifted to man the plough, loom and flute. She is associated with Owl and held well by the Black Furies.
Traits
She teaches her chosen the benefits of Wisdom and the control of will and rage (they gain 2 Wisdom, and have access to the gift: Inner Strength).
Bans
Her followers must remain chaste while under her banner.
