Nemesis Cabin: Hall of Balance
"Justice isn't about revenge—it's about restoring what was lost." Home to the children of Nemesis, goddess of retribution, balance, and righteous vengeance.
Inside Nemesis' Cabin
Cabin #16 honors Nemesis, the goddess of retribution, balance, and righteous vengeance. Built following the recognition of the minor gods, this cabin is a place of discipline, justice, and quiet strength. The demigods who reside here carry a deep sense of moral equilibrium.
Campers in the Nemesis Cabin are often misunderstood. Seen by some as harsh or severe, they are in truth guardians of fairness and humility, ever watchful of those who would upset the balance. To them, fate is sacred—and manipulation of justice is a sacred duty.
Cabin Details
Built from black granite and white marble, the cabin is split down the center by color—light on one side, dark on the other—symbolizing duality. The façade features scales, swords, and feathers carved into stone panels.
The entrance features a double door with inlaid obsidian and pearl, featuring a rotating scale motif that tips based on the moral atmosphere of the camp. The sloped roof forms a perfect isosceles triangle, a nod to balance and measured decisions. A bronze statue of Nemesis herself stands on the peak, blindfolded and holding a scale and sword.
