Huntress

The Huntress (True Neutral)
The Huntress is a Wild Goddess. She is perceived as a force of pursuit, hunting, and death. Others say she is an aspect of the Primal Goddess, representing the death that must come to all things.

Worship
Some hunters, shamans, and trackers make offerings to her to insure a good hunt, but most people try to avoid her notice whenever possible. Within civilized society she is almost never worshiped, and is viewed as a primitive superstition by most people. However, this does not stop them from personifying the idea of death, or acting with trepidation when they see a mysterious woman in black on an otherwise empty road.

Offerings are made to placate her or even ward her off from specific places or individuals; however, these are only made by the desperate of the foolish, for it is widely known that the huntress does not easily surrender her mark.

Most offerings are part of freshly killed animals. The animals must be wild, and must be first hunted or the offering will be offensive to the Huntress. The antlers of a stag, the teeth of a doe, and the hide of a bear are all common offerings. These are then burnt along with belladonna, nightshade, or some other poisonous or hallucinogenic plant. If the offering is being made by a shaman, they will often inhale the smoke in the hope of being granted a vision. These visions tend to give insight into the location of a wild herd or the hiding place of an intended quarry.

The Gift of The Huntress
It is said that the Huntress is the godhead of the curse of lycanthropy, and that all manner of were-beasts have been given her "gift." However, no one has been able to confirm this given the secretive nature of those so affected.
