Working on the gods for my Greco-Roman D&D Game
I decided to make my own pantheon to go with it - more fun that way.
This is Pétra - Goddess of Earth, Stone, and the Forge. Basically if Gaia and Hephaestus fused and made a giant Goat Woman
Some lore for her;
Pétra is one of the Six gods of Creation - the Titaness of Stone -and it was by her will that the first mountains heaved themselves upward from the young, molten plain. She is often known for being the divine being of Dwarves and Satyrs - though she is not their progenitor.
Her favor is found not in prayer, but in the steady hand of a craftsman who refuses to give up until the steel runs true
Much like her nephew Pólenís, Pétra’s name is invoked in times of war - soldiers pray that their blades do not shatter, and that the spears they thrust will not yield before the enemy’s shield. She is a calm god, but not a distant one.
It is said she once - and only once - came down from her stone-crowned throne and stood beside mortal warriors, hammer in hand, to turn the tide of a war that threatened to swallow kingdoms whole. Whether this is truth or merely the romantic myth of blacksmiths and battle-priests is unknown; Pétra herself has never confirmed it. But veterans will still swear that, in sieges where hope runs thin, you can hear a seventh echo in the forge halls—an unaccounted, steady hammer-strike - measuring out the heartbeat of the mountain, reminding mortals that stone remembers.
