On the morning of the 6th of Chronos, the people of Shallam awoke to a shimmering glow above the estate of the Crystalline Circle. They would later discover that their four elemental minions had departed from this world, and in their wake was left a land in suffering. Both the sky and the land were torn in the process, and through this violent upheaval, Artemis, Goddess of the Cataclysm, was able to awaken.

She is partially the rebirth of Propasia, a spirit of the forest, and the seed of Destruction that lay within Gaia's temple. Now merged into one, She possesses qualities of both, being intimately entwined with nature's wrath. Her symbol reflects this marriage of the two forces-a yew tree being split by nature's own wrath, a lightning bolt. Governing over this realm of Achaea, Lady Artemis has no care for "Good" or "Evil," only for that which is the natural world. Calling forth the power of nature, She can cause great havoc, and is especially inclined to do so in order to defend nature's beauty.
