The Sanktis Project// The Bountiful Mother
Continuing with my ongoing worldbuilding project with another priesthood! This time of the Bountiful Mother, goddess of agriculture, harvest, domestication, and livestock.
Those that serve the Bountiful Mother are a strictly nomadic and mostly solitary order of priests that have no set habit, their bronze tools are often the only identifying factor.
Each priest, called a Teacher, travels between settlements big and small educating the local farmers on domestication, husbandry, farming techniques, irrigation, or new crops. Hosting a teacher is a high honor for local farmers and they will compete elaborately for the chance, as it is seen to gain the Goddess’s favor.
It is said that these priests have an almost supernatural green thumb or affinity with animals, bestowed by the goddess herself.
The two folks represented here are Teachers of agriculture and livestock husbandry respectively.
