The Sims 4 Amazon challenge says that the tribes would have a specific goddess that they would pray to. I deiced while that is fun what about the rest of the pantheon? So here is a list of the gods and goddess these amazon sims follow.
Kala
Kala is the Goddess of Amazons. In her human life she was a princess. She was a warrior, strong willed and quick witted. She could charm her way out of situations. While running through the beaches that surround her home she met a young godling. He was a minor sea god and son of the king of the seas. He had seen her running, training to become stronger alone the beaches that border his home. He approached her curious.
She explained that there was a challenge set up by her father to help her find a good match. She refused be bonded with a man who thought himself superior because he was stronger. She would rather have a connection with the man. So she trained to best any man entering the challenge. Days went by since the meeting, Kala continues to train. The godling would join her and the two became fast friends.
Kala ended up engaged to a prince from a foreign land. The two were very much alike. Strong willed and not willing to back down from a challenge. It seemed as if it was a match made by the gods but Kala didn’t love him. She had fallen for the godling over the time they grew the know each other. The godling loved her too.
Kala would sneak away from her soon to be bonded to spend time with her true love. The prince grew jealous and angry each time she left. One day he followed her and found her with the godling. The prince grew angry at the sight of the two lovers embracing. The next night when Kala snuck away to see the godling the prince struck. He attacked his would be bonded and sent her to the underworld. His rage subsided and the prince panicked. He hid the body in some water reeds, hoping that it would not be found.
The godling grew worried when Kala did not show up. He searched for many days and nights until he found his beloved. He let out a wail so heart breaking it pushed the seas back. When the cry subsided the seas rushed back with such anger and speed it over took the land and destroyed any city within distance of the godlings heart break. The godling made his beloved into a goddess after that. She became the goddess of female warriors.
Triton
The son of the sea god. Triton is god of ocean waves both big and small. The story goes that he fall in love with a proud warrior from the land of humans. She captured his heart. He vowed never to take a lover unless it was the warrior from the mainland.
That vow stuck and many gods and goddesses left the sea palace in shame. Rumors circulated that a jilted suitor of the godling cursed the warrior so a horrible fate would fall upon her. Kala ended up dying and Triton unleashed his grief on nearby cities.
Kala and Triton did end up together. Together they rule the seas and help guild those who seek it through the treacherous seas that surround the amazon nation. While amazons do not see Triton as a god, they do ask Kala to keep them safe during any oceanic adventures. If Kala is pleased with the person requesting she will request Triton grant them safety.
Wran
The goddess of all water dwelling creatures. From lamprey to snapping turtles to various sharks and sea serpents. People would prey to Wran to keep them safe when dealing with the creatures that dwell in the murky waters of the lands. If appeased a person may use Wran’s waters without fear of attack. Harming her sacred animal, the octopus would bring her wrath upon anyone daring to enter the water. Wran is the daughter of Triton, a lesser sea god and Kala the goddess of amazon warriors.
Hyacinth
The goddess of flowers, warm summer days and the harvest. Hyacinth is one of the more known goddesses of the pantheon. She grants pleasantly warm summer days, beautiful flowers and presides over every harvest through the year. One of the kinder goddesses she will do what she can for the people who wonder the earth. If angered she will not hesitate to send out scorching heatwaves to destroy crops and make people wish for the cooler days of winter. She is the wife of Wran.
Land and Sea Trade
Wran met Hyacinth one day while attacking some fishers who had harmed Wran’s sacred animal. One of the fishers was a favorite of Hyacinth’s. The twon goddesses argued and fought for a very long time over this. The finally came to an agreement when people begged for relief from the goddesses’s anger. Ships had sunk, their people dragged into the sea never to be seen again. Crops had fail and fields had burned in the summer heat. Wran would call off her sea creatures if Hyacinth would give up the man who harmed the creature. Hyacinth refused, offering beautiful aquatic plants in the man’s stead.
From that moment one Wran was smitten. She had never met another who would stand up to her. Most would bend to her will, otherwise Wran would destroy everything in reach. Wran stormed back into the water, not taking the man. The ships were soon able to pass through the waters without any issue. Hyacinth kept her promise of an offering in the man’s place. She would create new plants that could survive in the waters Wran called home. She would release them into the waters. One day Wran approached Hyacinth. Before Hyacinth could question what Wran wanted, the blue haired woman presented Hyacinth with a host of semi-aquatic animals.
“To fill your beautiful garden with even more life”
The two had a slow building romance.
Selene
The goddess of the Moon, mothers and new born babies. Selene is the daughter of Wran and Hyacinth. The moon is said to share Selene’s eye and hair color do to her being conceived under the light of the full moon. She is said to calm the wild creatures that stalk through the night under the full moon. She became the goddess of mothers and new born babies after the the loss of her husband. Her husband Solare was betrayed by his brother. Solare’s brother was jealous of everything Solare had and when Solare was named god of the sun Solare’s brother vow revenge. He vowed that Solare would lose everything he cared about. One day Solare was grievously wounded during a festival of the Sun. Try as he might he did not make it. Selene begged the god of the underworld to return Solare. The god agreed but Solare would only return when Selene bore Solare’s child. Selene told the god that was impossible. She and Solare had never been able to have a child. Selene was wrong. The night before the Festival of the Sun had happened the two had conceived a child. Selene bore the child. She named the child Zenith.
Solare
The godling of the sunrise, travels and new beginnings. The husband of Selene and twin brother of Helius. Hair as bright as the morning sun and eyes are blue as daytime sky, this young godling caught the eye of the moon goddess Selene. Her silver hair and bright white eyes mesmerized the godling. He asked her mothers for her hand. They told him if she agreed to be bonded with him and completed three trials he would be worthy of her hand. His first task was to spend fifteen years among the humans. This was he would learn humility and hard work. Those 15 years brought Solare his first human friend. The histories don’t record the name. The second task was the protect Hyacinth’s favorite warrior in an upcoming battle. The battle lasted years and many perished. When the battle finally subsided Hyacinth’s warrior had won the day. The warrior threw a celebration, praising the gods that helped win the battle. Solare did not join in. His friend has died in battle. Killed by the enemy. Solare turned his friend into a sun flower. The flower will follow the the sun’s path, just as Solare’s friend followed him into battle. By creating a sunflower he had completed the third and final task. Make something beautiful out of something horrible.
The Sun, The moon, and Eclipses
After Solare had completed his tasks Selene agreed to be bonded with the godling for eternity. On the night of their bonding ceremony Solare’s twin brother laid a curse upon Solare. Helius jealous of all his brother had swore that the godling would lose everything on his greatest day of triumph. The curse came true years later. During the first festival of the Sun, celebrating Solare’s triumph in battle, the violent attack ended the sun godling’s life. Selene refused to live her immortal life without her love. She traveled into the underworld and begged its ruler to give Solare back to the living. The ruler agreed that Solare would return to the over world when the moon dominated the day’s light and Selene bore Solare’s child. Selene left the underworld heart broken. The moon could never take the sun’s place. She would never give Solare a child. The two had tried but no child had yet come from their union. This changed on the first lunar eclipse before the Festival of the Sun a child was conceived. The child was born to Selene during a solar eclipse. When the moon eclipsed the sun, Selene named the baby Zenith.

He hated seeing his brother gaining such wonderful things. During his brother’s bonding ceremony he cursed him, vowing that Solare would loose everything. After Solare’s death Helius was trapped in the underworld for his punishment. He now works for the goddess of vengeance, death and the afterlife.
