The Daughters of Titania are a little-spoken-of cult operating in the shadows of the Circle of the Spring Maiden. While the wider faith reveres Titania as the goddess of beauty, youth, and growth, this secret sect claims direct lineage—through her non-elven daughters—and safeguards esoteric knowledge believed to be passed down from the goddess herself. Most people have only heard of them in half-forgotten folktales, if at all. Even devout worshipers of the Spring Maiden often dismiss the Daughters as an ancient rumor that vanished from the world when Titania last returned to her celestial abode.
Despite widespread assumption that they died out, the Daughters of Titania have survived through cunning discretion. Their membership is exceedingly small, composed solely of those who can trace a family lineage—however faint—to the goddess. No single location houses them; instead, they gather intermittently in secluded shrines hidden beyond the watchful eyes of the Circle’s traditional priesthood. They conduct rare rites that revolve around themes of renewal, living embodiments of the goddess’s legacy that differs from the purely Elven heritage claimed by Everbloom’s ruling family.
Among the Daughters, beliefs run deep that Titania endowed her non-elven children with a unique spiritual insight. They hold arcane rituals not found in the Circle’s main doctrine, focusing on harnessing the raw, vibrant energies of early spring. With each ceremony, they renew ancestral vows to safeguard Titania’s hidden teachings. What those teachings entail remains unknown to outsiders, but rumors suggest secrets that could reshape the public’s perception of the Spring Maiden—and possibly the balance of power within the Queendom of Everbloom.
Over the centuries, these elusive daughters have navigated persecution and disbelief, weaving themselves into the everyday life of Everbloom while guarding the truth of their identity. Their silence is a shield; spoken aloud, their name sparks curiosity or doubt, and so the cult stays just beneath notice. Yet, for those fortunate or intrepid enough to discover them, the Daughters of Titania offer a glimpse into a deeper, more mystical bond with the goddess—a forbidden lineage that continues to blossom in secret.
