<p>create - dnh default Ranger pantheon done</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{religion}}<br /> In [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]], '''Diana''' is the [[chaotic]] [[goddess]] for the pantheon of [[Ranger]]s that are not [[Gnome (starting race)|gnomish]], [[Elf (starting race)|elven]] or [[Drow (starting race)|drow]].<br /> <br /> ==Description==<br /> Diana is a chaotic god of holy holiness, and her [[minion]]s consist of [[naiad]]s, [[oread]]s, [[earth elemental]]s, [[water elemental]]s, and [[titan]]s. Her [[crowning]] gift is [[dNetHack artifacts#Moonbeam|Moonbeam]], a chaotic Ranger-favoring [[intelligent artifact]] whose [[base item]] is a set of 20 [[silver arrow]]s: Moonbeams have +1d10 [[to-hit]] and double damage bonuses, and are permanently covered in [[sleep]]-inducing poison, and grant [[drain resistance]] while carried. They are never lost when [[thrown]] or [[fired]], [[petrify]] [[Troll (monster class)|trolls]] (except for [[Olog-hai]] and [[wood troll]]s) and vaporize [[gremlin]]s on hit, and will automatically return to the [[hero]]'s [[quiver]] after being fired on a cooldown of [[rnz]](20).<br /> <br /> ==Origin==<br /> {{wikipedia|Diana (mythology)}}<br /> Diana is a goddess in Roman and Hellenistic religion who is primarily considered a patroness of the countryside and nature, hunters, wildlife, childbirth, crossroads, the night, and the Moon. She is equated with the Greek goddess Artemis, and absorbed much of Artemis' mythology early in Roman history, including a birth on the island of Delos to parents Jupiter and Latona, and a twin brother, Apollo; in Italy, she had an independent origin. Diana is considered a virgin goddess and protector of childbirth.<br /> <br /> By the 3rd century CE, after Greek influence had a profound impact on Roman religion, Diana had been almost fully combined with Artemis and took on many of her attributes, both in her spiritual domains and in the description of her appearance. The Roman poet Nemesianus wrote a typical description of Diana: She carried a bow and a quiver full of golden arrows, wore a golden cloak, purple half-boots, and a belt with a jeweled buckle to hold her tunic together, and wore her hair gathered in a ribbon. Her association with the moon and the night is likely the basis for Moonbeam in dNetHack and its variants, including their base item of silver arrows as opposed to [[golden arrow]]s.<br /> {{variant-343}}<br /> [[Category:dNetHack gods]]<br /> [[Category:notdNetHack gods]]<br /> [[Category:notnotdNetHack gods]]</div>
