Pantheon Mondays: Ardentia, Azclepios and Basth


Ardentia

Lady of Arden Vale (demigod)                                  
 Lawful Good
Priests of Ardentia Clerics of Ardentia are regular Clerics, she also has Paladins. Both call themselves The Ardent, they wear green robes (or a tabard over armor) with their city's coat of arms, a green heraldric acer (maple) on a blue field.
Relationships with Other Priesthoods: The Ardent are a civic faith, the official state religion of the monoarchy of Arden Vale. This means that the priesthood gets many benefits that others lack, such as large state-sponsored temples and holy days as civic holidays. While the Ardent get along with other LG faiths, their special position as a civic religion creates rivalries and jealousy within Arden Vale.
