Hestia

Hestia, in all dwellings of men and immortals
Yours is the highest honor, the sweet wine offered
First and last at the feast, poured out to you duly.
Never without you can gods or mortals hold banquet.

Hestia, the older of the original siblings (Demeter, Hades, Poseidon, Hera, and Zeus), is the goddess of the hearth. She protects every household on the Earth and is honored by both gods and mortals alike. The gentlest member of the twelve Olympians, she gave her place on Olympus when Dionysus arrived to avoid the unlucky number thirteen and so that she could spend more time tending the eternal hearth in the center of the great hall where the gods spend most of their days. Each city has a public hearth sacred to Hestia where the fire is never allowed to go out.

Hestia favors training in Ritual Magic and Arcane Knowledge. Her symbol is a flame and her followers often offer brown jaspers, torches, and coal to her.
