11 Minerva is the Roman Goddess of Wisdom and the first god most Romestead players interact with. Her Guardian is the first major boss in the Plains, her quests anchor the early-game narrative, and her Altar tutorials introduce the worship system. She is one of the seven gods players can restore in Romestead.

1212 Why Minerva First
1313  
1414 Minerva's tutorial-arc role is built into the game's pacing. The early-game tutorial chain points players to her Altar, her Guardian is fightable with starter gear, and the Feathered armor set she drops slots between the Copper and Bronze tiers. Once Minerva is restored, players have a flexible enough toolkit to choose any of the other six gods next. See Getting Started for the early-game path.

1616 Worship Items and Offerings
1717  
1818 Wisdom-themed items are her preferred offerings. Research-related and scholarly goods favor her affinity meter. As you make offerings, the meter for whichever god the item resonates with fills first, so the right god is discovered through play rather than memorization.

2020 Talents and Blessings
2121  
2222 Minerva's talent tree, accessed at the Altar after restoration, unlocks construction options and stat bonuses tied to the early-game progression curve. Specific Blessing values for Minerva are not yet documented in the published Worship UI; the Altar Blessings explicitly shown there cover Ceres, Mars, and Venus. Her unlocks include early-tier construction recipes that smooth the start of the game.

2424 Lore
2525  
2626 After Rome fell, the gods lost most of their worshippers and, in turn, much of their power and memory. Minerva is the one whose call players answer first. The line "I have a job for you, traveler" introduces her in the tutorial, and she frames the player's rise from camp-dweller to settlement-builder as a return of wisdom to the world. See Story and Setting for the broader fallen-Rome framing.
