The banner of the Daughters of Artemis

The Daughters of Artemis was a minor Greek full-female faction who worshipped Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt and Moon.

The Daughters of Artemis saw themselves as protectors of the land's flora and fauna, and made use of animals like bears and wolves to protect it. They were also proficient archers.[1]

Description

The Daughters of Artemis favored hunting camps set deep in the woods, or near places sacred to Artemis.[1]

The emblem of the Daughters of Artemis was a stylized figure of a woman drawing a bow; presumably a depiction of Artemis.[1]

They had three distinct ranks:

  • Huntress
  • Pathfinder, who was accompanied by a wolf
  • Beastmaster, who was accompanied by a bear

History

In 431 BCE Daphnae, the leader of the Daughters at the time, tasked the Spartan misthios Kassandra to hunt several legendary creatures found across Greece. Daphnae later revealed that this process was to select a new candidate to lead the Daughters of Artemis; it would culminate in the challenger and the ruling leader fighting to the death. The winner would be the leader of the Daughters, until another challenger arose.[2]
