The god of healing and light, knowledge and prophecy, literature and poetry, Apollo is among the most compassionate of the Olympians, interested in the well being of mortals for their own sake. Represented by the sun itself, he watches over all and illuminates the darkest of places. His followers tend to be scholars, healers and sages; they are typically courteous, learned, and caring.
In Rise of the Argonauts, the worshippers of Apollo are calm, insightful, and empathetic. Universally, they are keepers of knowledge, and many have a fondness of the arts as a means of celebrating the deeds of both gods and men. It is not uncommon for them to seem rather mysterious or cryptic, as they often know more than they are letting on - but they all share an eagerness to dispense the information they have gleaned, and thus further enrich the world by their tales and stories. They are also known as guardians; in times of war, it is his followers who stand fast in defense of the weak and innocent, and refuse to back down even when faced with impossible odds. For these warriors, a death in pursuit of a noble cause is never to be lamented.
