zisa isn’t just the goddess of the forest, she is the goddess of the deep, dark forest. the kind of forest so filled with trees, and moss, and other vegetation that sunlight barely permeates the canopy of leaves. she is the goddess of forested places that no man has walked in in hundreds maybe even thousands of years. zisa doesn’t take care of the trees or the animals ( she can, but there are other deities and forest spirits that do that job better ), instead she stands guard between mankind and those deep, dark, yawning spaces, and every malevolent creature that lurks there. zisa isn’t your standard nature deity in that sense. as the first woodwife, her goal is to keep some things in the dark, so those that live in the light can thrive there unharmed.
#* ic. / headcanons#headcanon: zisa#this ties into her role in crimson bound#as the slayer of the devourer and the wielder of durrendal#but mostly it's based on my own headcanons#esp bc zisa barely exists in germanic lore#but yeah i want to say... if the world doesn't know her it's bc#she doesn't exist in the world they know#her domain is so far removed from their civilization#and if she does her job properly they will never know about the threats she keeps at bay
