A beautiful woman of living gold and fire, whose eyes are like burning sapphire. Apollonia is the
embodiment of the spirit of progress. She was the force that drove men from the cave to the forest,
from the field to the village, and from the village to towns and cities. She inspires by her presence, an
inventor or craftsman lost in the throes of his art is said to have Apollonia with him. Apollonia is the
spirit of the forge and the fire, the swinging of the hammer and the singing of the anvil.
She also bolsters the spirits of men and women and drives them to seek physical perfection. To this end
she is worshiped off not only by athletes but by warriors as well, and any who desire her unyielding
strength. Appolinia is also the patron of judges, record keepers, and those dedicated to maintaining an
orderly society.
Apollonia’s creed is perfection of self; mind, body, and soul. By perfecting one’s self, one is in a
position to contribute more to society than to demand from it, which is the driving for between making
nations stronger. Seek perfection in all you do, to make and craft with your hands is the great joy of
existence. Craft not only upon the forge, but upon the pages of history. Raise nations and citites where
none existed before. Push forward, dare to try, and never give in to stagnation.
