Terpsichore
Terpsichore is the patron of language, drama and the written word. Her clergy tends to be small, but she has at least one temple in any large city. She has a moderate following, composed mostly of actors, poets, writers and scholars. She encourages her followers to spread their knowledge to others, but not forcefully so. A peaceful deity, she finds her efforts thwarted only by Orchus, god of luck, who is strangely opposed to scholarly pursuits. Terpsichore is closely allied with Thea, goddess of art, and Himere, goddess of poetry; their temples sometimes share the same structure, particularly in smaller towns where they have a presence.
