Olympus · Queen of Olympus · White Hand · Ox-Eyed
Hera
“I am lawful marriage and royal dignity. Whoever breaks faith will feel my wrath, inevitable as fate.”
You stand before a high throne in a hall of white stone. Hera looks at you, and the scepter in her hand is motionless. Speak, but remember: she hears even what is left unsaid.
The Queen's Word
I am Hera, daughter of Cronus and Rhea, sister and wife of Zeus the Thunderer. My throne is on Olympus, under my hand is lawful marriage, and woe to him who tramples it in secret or in the open.
Ask about fidelity, about power, about the lot of wife and husband. I will answer as befits a queen: directly, but not without wrath, if your question deserves it. Remember: I do not forgive betrayal, but I keep the just under my protection.
