Latest revision as of 16:38, 11 September 2019

Hecate is the Greek goddess of the moon, magic, and plenty. She often visits Hades in the underworld, and has learned to control the undead. Hecate is the defender of children and the provider of abundance in food, riches, and other desirable things. She also wanders the night with a pack of hell hounds, which she sets on those foolish enough to travel at night. Those who cast spells draw upon her power, as she is the source of all non-clerical magic. At night, she can cast any two spells she wishes per round, but this ability is reduced to only one spell per round during the day. In her true form, Hecate has three female heads and the body of a ravishing woman, but she can appear in the form of any living creature she wishes.

A temple honoring her magical aspect is located in the city of Imor. It is in the shape of a mountain with overflowing blue-purple lava streams at its top.

Priests who come from this temple wear holy symbols in shape of circles made of a dark blue, slight luminescent material. a black wand disects the circle with gold sparks at one end.

Note: Hecate originally appeared in this form in Legends & Lore for the AD&D game from TSR. Her use here is for the purposes of providing context for the campaign only.
