Ayss Domination

The agricultural goddess is a very special existence among the gods.

First of all, she is the daughter of the Mother of the Earth. She has a special identity in the natural gods, and since the powerful gods of the natural gods have basically fallen or separated, the entire natural gods are currently dominated by the goddess of forest and agriculture.The goddess of the forest is the daughter of the father of the oak tree, the goddess of spring and peace are her sisters (but serving the goddess of agriculture), and the aforementioned unicorn goddess is her mount during battle.The status of the natural gods has always been maintained by the goddess of the forest and the ranger. Even if she is currently only a god of medium divine power, any enemy with strong divine power dare not ignore her.

Because part of the power of the father of the oak tree has been inherited by his daughter, the forest goddess Melika.

The other part of the natural god system is composed of the goddess of agriculture. She represents the part where nature and intelligent creatures coexist peacefully. Of course, it is mainly the relationship between humans and nature.The existence of agriculture balances the plunder and destruction of nature by humans. The doctrine of the goddess of agriculture is not entirely biased towards humans. She is able to gain the love of nature from Druids because she hopes to reduce human demand for nature through the development of agriculture.If farming can meet most of the basic needs, then the destruction of nature and forests by humans will be much reduced.At present, this is correct, because where the goddess of agriculture has a wide range of influence, agricultural farming is a little more developed, people have reduced their demand for forests and nature, and more is to create wealth from the land.

Half of the agricultural goddess belongs to the natural gods, and the other half belongs to the human gods.

Her existence is special because of the relationship between the Mother of Earth and the Lord of Radiance. Although the combat power is not clear at present, there is no god who can easily provoke.

Sauron needs her support.

Because both the Mother Earth and the Lord of Radiance are the golden thighs of powerful divine power, the Mother Earth is still sleeping, but this ancient god is likely to wake up at any time, and the strength cannot be ignored.

Southern Principality.

This is a fertile land near the south coast, with more fertile land than Amber City and White Horse City.

The entire southern principality is crossed by two rivers. The goddess of agriculture is the dominant god of this land, and her gods include the goddess of spring water and peace, the goddess of rivers, and the goddess of sprouts.These gods were originally serving the mother of the earth, and then after the mother of the earth was reclusive, they followed the new agricultural goddess together.

Many huge barns can be seen in the territory of the goddess of agriculture.

This is the largest grain producing area in the entire material plane, and almost 70% of the grain trade in the south is provided here.The followers and priests of the goddess of agriculture built a large number of barns to store food, and the food hoarding here exceeds that of any kingdom on the road.However, although she is a god in the good camp, the goddess of agriculture has her own limitations, that is, she does not have much ability to mobilize the food here. She can control the resources in the church, but the wealth of the believers is not controlled by her. Therefore, even if the refugees continue to be everywhere, the agricultural goddess has no spare capacity to provide relief.This is exactly the opposite of Sauron’s control of Modo City. In the Southern Duchy, it is the secular power that dominates the manor, nobles, and chambers of commerce. They are willing to serve and believe in the goddess of agriculture, but if they are allowed to use their accumulated wealth To help others, these people may turn their faces in minutes.

but.

Even so, the number of refugees in the Southern Duchy was the smallest. The nobles formed an army to guard against evil creatures and also to prevent those refugees from entering this rich land.

The entire Southern Duchy’s farming is two seasons, which is unmatched by the overseas archipelago. Almost every town and village here has altars and shrines of the goddess of agriculture. After each harvest, a grand harvest festival is held here. .

Sauron's destination is the city of harvest.

A city sheltered by the goddess of agriculture should also be the most beautiful city on the material plane.

This is a garden-like city. Sauron hasn’t gotten near here and saw many beautiful manors. Almost all of these manors are planted with many flowers and plants. It looks like a retro-like future urban greenery, but it should be more harmonious. Many beautiful.This is where the true believers of the goddess of agriculture are. They are called [herders] by the outside world. Most of them are gardeners, farmers and druids. They pursue the balance between nature and agriculture. Although they serve farming, they still love big natural.The biggest difference in this city is that it will not convert all the fertile land into farmland. Along the way, Sauron has seen many fertile fields, but these people have transformed them into beautiful gardens.

have to say.

The goddess of agriculture has indeed created a dreamlike garden city on the material plane.

Sauron strolled along the wide and flat avenue.

He was observing the entire city of harvest, and through these observations of the truest thoughts of the goddess of agriculture, just like the order, rules, and promises of Modo City, that is Sauron's true ideas, so it extends to the interior of Modo City.It is difficult for people who ignore order in Modo City to survive. This is the influence of the gods on the world.

This city also represents the idea of ​​the goddess of agriculture.

Because gods have their own most essential thoughts, and this kind of thought is the first to feed back to the core territory that the church controls.

"It seems that the goddess of agriculture admires the balance between nature and agriculture."

Sauron watched all this silently, and could feel the peace and harmony of the goddess of agriculture. She didn't want to abandon nature, but she couldn't bear to be hostile to humans, so she tried to act as a balancer among them.

This land retains the beauty of nature.

Unlike other places in the Southern Principality, most of the fertile land has been transformed into farmland as much as possible. There are dense and beautiful forests, small and exquisite gardens, and barns erected next to the village. , And in the distance are dug rivers and creeks.

This is a beautiful land.

To a certain extent, it is more beautiful than Modo City, but Sauron felt that it was a bit unreal, especially when he saw the ruined Amber City and the ruined White Horse City under the back of the saint's catastrophe. More and more I feel that all this is like a castle in the air.

Many people gathered in the village ahead.

Sauron approached like a traveler, and observed it as if watching the excitement.

These people are having a wedding.

Holding a wedding on a piece of land that has just been plowed is a very old tradition that has been maintained since the mother of the earth.

Some devout believers will hold weddings on the land that has just been plowed, and then in the evening the newly married couple will spend their first and night here. This is an ancient tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years, because it can get The blessings of the mother of the earth have allowed their children to multiply.

The Church of the Goddess of Agriculture still maintains this ancient tradition.

The wedding of the newlyweds was presided over by the priest. The wedding banquet was held next to the field. When night fell, the newlyweds would make their beds on the newly plowed land, and then they would spend the first night here to obtain the land. Mother's blessing.

Nature and humans.

This is a difficult problem to reconcile. The contradiction between the Mother Earth and the Father of Oak Tree was because the Mother Earth turned her preference to humans and began to shelter farming, which led to a cold relationship between the two powerful gods.Even a group of believers who eventually served the Mother of the Earth, known as the "True Formers", advocating the wilderness and nature, began to turn to other gods like other natural gods.

Currently.

These [True Shapers] serve the forest goddess.

Sauron’s arrival cannot be hidden from the goddess of agriculture, so when he entered the city of harvest, the main temple located in the center of the city immediately sent a large number of pastors. Because the church of the goddess of agriculture has many characteristics of motherhood, fertility and femininity, the priest Most of them were female members. They welcomed Sauron in groups, sprinkled fragrant petals on both sides of the plants, and then welcomed Sauron all the way to the temple.

Anyway.

The visit of a true god is of great significance, and these pastors use it as the grandest welcome ceremony.

The temple of the goddess of agriculture is like a beautiful hanging garden. Even as the true god Sauron, he was shocked at first sight, because everything in front of him really seemed to be the legendary Babylonian hanging garden.

The entire temple is shrouded in the beauty of humanity and the beauty of nature, the two are balanced and set off each other, supporting everything in front of them like a dreamlike country.There are a large number of believers here, and each believer’s face is filled with happiness and reverence. It can be seen that their life is very good, because the residents of Modo City have only proud smiles on their faces, and there would be no such peace. And a happy smile.

Sauron was invited all the way to the deepest part of the temple.

There was a beautiful priest waiting for him there, and then the priest took Sauron into a private country.

This is a half plane.

A beautiful semi-plane attached to the temple looks like a huge garden, with countless exotic flowers and plants blooming in it, and in front of an exquisite vine rocking chair, the goddess of agriculture wears a long white dress. The skirt sat quietly on it, watching Sauron's arrival.

"Welcome to my country."

The goddess of agriculture stood up and walked around. She came to Sauron and gently twisted the corners of her skirt, then bowed her head slightly and smiled and said, "I don't know how your Excellency Sauron feels when I see this along the way?"

She had already noticed Sauron's visit.

Sauron leaned slightly to salute, then dragged the hand of the goddess of agriculture with the palm of his hand, leaned over and kissed the back of his hand lightly, but only in a kissing position and did not really touch the other person.Since the goddess of agriculture used the ancient lady etiquette, he naturally responded to the ancient knight ceremony. Kissing the back of the hand in this etiquette is just a symbol. The most orthodox ceremony never touches the woman's skin, because it is very rude.

of course.

This kind of etiquette has evolved until now and it is really going to kiss.

Sauron raised his head to meet the gaze of the goddess of agriculture, and said calmly: "Very beautiful. Very natural. But also very illusory."

Hearing Sauron's words, the face of the goddess of agriculture changed instantly.
