Shrine of Hecate

Notes

Mountain cave-shrine found by the northern questers while following Giant Erge by night. Under the full moon, they find statues of maiden, mother, and crone, each marked with moon pendants.

A Greek inscription describes a ritual of supplication before the Triple Goddess. Each phase requires three skills, two traits, and a passion. Success promises a reward; failure summons the Hounds of Hecate to devour the supplicant’s soul.

Timeline

• 490: Millicent attempts the maiden’s trial, succeeds with dancing and loyalty, but guesses one trait incorrectly. A Hound of Hecate appears; the party defeats it, and the ritual is deferred. (Source: Session 034 - Erge, Exeter, and the Hounds of Hecate)
