Nemesis is the goddess of retribution and due reckoning in the Greek Pantheon - one of the three faces of the triple goddess of justice, alongside Eleos (mercy) and Dike (law). Her teaching holds that there are times when vengeance serves a higher purpose than mercy, and that wrongs left unanswered are a wound upon the world.

Divine Domain

Nemesis governs vengeance and the settling of debts - the face of justice that does not forgive, but repays. Those who feel themselves wronged beyond the reach of law sometimes take her as their patron, finding in her clergy’s teachings a creed of never yielding.

Symbol

Roles

Worshippers & Cults

Though not all who invoke her name are truly faithful, her ideal of relentless reckoning has inspired more than one band of the downtrodden to rise - among them the slum gang the Hounds of Nemesis, who took her name as a banner of defiance: we do not give up; we are the vengeance.
