Rituals & Beliefs
Gita is an obscure spider goddess worshiped deep in the backwoods and among the treacherous hills of Argos. The spider is a female force in this cult. Her priestesses believe in the superiority of noble blood and some engage in breeding programs to produce strong, pliable slaves.

The cult praises cunning, patience, skill and industry. Art and beauty are also emphasized, in particular weaving.

Gita is the Great Weaver, the Creator of Life, spinning the world and all of its people from her own substance – and all people are attached to Gita (and, by extension, each other) through these threads. Meditation and human sacrifice is pleasing to the spider goddess. Every year Athos sponsors a sporting event called the Games of Gita. The games of Gita are gladiator games in honor of Athos’s demon-goddess.
