 ====== Hestia ======
+Hestia is the Goddess of the hearth and home, associated often with hospitality and family. She values a welcoming home, hot meals, and reaping the words of hard work. As such, she is seen as a humble and generous Goddess, often worshipped by those who are seeking to form a new home, family, or create a welcoming environment in their home or business. She is typically depicted in modest robes, usually veiled with eyes like a flickering flame, bent over a hearth stoking the fire.
+Devout followers of Hestia will typically cook homemade meals and burn a portion of them in their hearth as tribute and thanks for her guidance. It is believed that any hearth serves as a worthy altar for her, and so in place of typical altars in any church or temple, she instead has a modest hearth. Anyone is welcome to sit by the hearth and partake in the warmth Hestia provides. Many of her Clerics and Paladins will make and donate food for the needy, providing homecooked meals as well as open their homes to the unhoused or travelers.
