In Dungeons & Dragons, a Goddess of Virtue is typically a divine being who embodies one or more idealized moral or ethical principles such as justice, compassion, wisdom, honor, or purity. These goddesses are often aligned with good-aligned deities within the cosmology and represent aspirational values that mortals and other beings strive to emulate. Their presence in a campaign setting provides spiritual guidance, moral authority, and divine magic to those who venerate them, especially paladins, clerics, and other champions of good.

These goddesses may appear in different campaign settings under unique names and domains, but their core function remains the same: they serve as paragons of righteousness and order. For instance, in the Forgotten Realms, goddesses like Sune, who represents love and beauty, or Ilmater, often considered a god but worshipped in a similar light for his embodiment of endurance and compassion, function in a way that mirrors a goddess of virtue. In Greyhawk, a deity like Mayaheine, the paladin servant of Pelor, exemplifies this role, standing for valor, protection, and benevolence.

Narratively, a Goddess of Virtue is often portrayed as an inspirational figure who uplifts mortals, rewards noble deeds, and opposes evil not merely as an adversary but as a healing force meant to restore balance and grace. Her temples may be places of healing, sanctuaries for the weak, and centers of learning or spiritual growth. Worshippers often strive to embody the virtues she represents in their daily lives, and divine magic granted by her is typically focused on protection, healing, purification, and smiting evil.

While not every campaign features a formal "Goddess of Virtue" by title, many good-aligned deities fulfill this archetype through their ideals and actions. They are central figures in the cosmic struggle between good and evil, providing hope, guidance, and strength to those who walk the righteous path.
