Come, sit.

The fact that you are here is no accident. The gods have called for you to turn your eyes to their actions once more. Zeus, the King of Olympus, has decreed that the Pantheon must return to Earth, for they are losing their way. Who is ‘they’? Perhaps it is you, dear mortal, lost within the eras of modern-day technology. Or perhaps it is the Gods, unsure of how to reinvent their own wheel, or whether they should even try.

It has been far too long since you looked to us for guidance, since you have asked for the heavens to come down and help you. We will wait no longer – we are here, mortals. Right now.

History tells tales of the old Gods of Greece, where they took pity on mortals, made them champions to their causes, played games with their minds. There are, as you may know, many unsavory stories as well.

We are more than an old scribe’s tales. History was written by the victors and those with deep opinions, and in this new age, we strive to become more than old Homer’s flowery and potent words, or Ovid’s ballads of conquest and pillage.

Many of us have made our path down the mountain, others were among you the entire time...

Muses

The history books are rich with the exploits of the gods and goddesses, but none were more influential than the muses who were the embodiment of science, literature, and arts. Their primary desire was to give inspiration, knowledge, artistry, and music to the Pantheon World.

These muses lived on Mount Olympus building their homes on the Muses’ plateau. It is here where they entertained the Olympians with stories and poetic lyrics, dancing and music, sculpting, and more.

The mortals concocted many conflicting stories about the origin of the muses, their appearances, their gender, and even the number of muses. Any correction to the old legends is best left to the words of the muses themselves.

The muses of the Pantheon World includes:

Calliope, Muse of epic poetry, she is currently unvoiced.

Clio, Muse of history and goddess of the soul, voiced by Alice Callisto.

Erato, Muse of lyric poetry, currently voiced by Fucking Poetry.

Immortals, Demis, and Semis

The Oracle

Luna Athanasiou, Nyx's head priestess, and the founder of the Order of the Aurora, as well as the Shadows of Chaos.

Calligenia & Aode, are Dinlas companions. Originally maidens that lived on Circe's island, they were cursed to be wolves. Dinlas hardly ever goes anywhere without them.

Din & Las, gifted to Eros by the Goddess of Mischief Atë, they are Eros's animal familiars.

Pantheon Creatures

Atilla the Hen and the Mini Voids

Atilla spawned from a portal in the Void while Nyx was exploring Eventide. Seven smaller hens, all in black, came along behind the hen. When Nyx tried to separate them, to figure out who or what they potentially were, Atilla caused a great ruckus and fought beak and claw to stay with the others. They are inseparable, and with some exceptions, generally, stay in Eventide. Nyx does allow others to visit or take them out, as long as Atilla is agreeable to it – she usually is, if the whole flock can go.

Digital Gremlin

Digital Gremlins (DeeGees) are sentient life forms that infect computers and the internet. They are born from fragmented bits of data that is left on computer hard drives through a process that is not fully understood. They are mischievous and irritating by themselves but can be dangerous in large groups.

Drakons

Drakons are legendary creatures usually conceived as huge, bat-winged, fire-breathing, scaly lizard or serpentine-like with a barbed tail. The English word Dragons originated from drakons, which in Greece means Snake or Sea Serpent. Drakons are sharp-eyed, fire-breathing, powerful creatures mainly found dwelling in the inner earth. In Mount Olympus, drakons can be found dwelling in the alternate realms that can only be entered through the caves behind waterfalls of Olympus National Park.

Eldrain

The Eldrain are a highly intelligent, somewhat nomadic shapeshifting race. They like to explore and absorb knowledge, quite literally. When focused and in contact with their subject, they are able to duplicate and store knowledge from anything living. However, their at-rest form is not ideal for interacting in the mortal world, so they shapeshift to take on a human. They do not possess living things, they do not do hostages. They are unrecognizable as a human and can speak any language in both their standard form and as a human.

Imps

Imps were vicious, manipulative fiends that compromised the least powerful ranks of the infernal legions. They were considered minor demons serving as tempters and lackeys to mortals whom devils want groomed to the side of evil. They tend to resemble their larger cousins, only less viciously cruel and more curious, impulsive and mischief-prone.

Nightgoyles

Nightgoyles are cruel predators imbued with the power of nightmares. The unnatural union between the Children of the Oneiroi and gargoyles has spawned a truly malicious being that takes delight in the corruption and suffering of others. As creatures of both death and shadow, they hold tremendous power in the darkness. They are meaner, more evil, and deadlier versions of the classic gargoyle.

Nargoyles

The Nightgoyles of the sea. These dangerous aquatic creatures terrorize coastal cities and seafarers. Although they despise the King of the Sea, they would never take him on, except maybe in large schools.

Satyroi

The Satyroi are a pack of Satyr loyal to the Goddess, Hestia. They are not the only satyrs in the world but are the ones who are working most closely with the returned Gods.

Shinvith

Shinviths are elemental spirits that reside in the in-between worlds. They are born when the balance of natural power in the world is unequal, and are meant to keep harmony. Shinvith are similar to the Grecian muses in that they only operate in one specialized ‘area’; they cannot cross that boundary without forfeiting their existence. Their homeland is originally in Brazil, in the Mantiqueira mountains, and have since spread across the world.

Tulpa

A tulpa is a corporeal manifestation of intense emotions or thoughts that, when they reach a certain level of energy, will gain sentience and autonomy. Tulpas can either be created with purpose, in which their sentience belongs to their creator, or by accident, in which they belong to no one or thing.

Mount Olympus

Mount Olympus was the ancestral home of the Greek deities who built there palaces and structures among the peaks and valleys, while the muses preferred the plateaus at the foot of the peaks. No human was permitted into the home of the deities without explicit permission from Zeus.

City of Olympus

With the reemergence of the Greek Pantheon, the City of Olympus flourishes in the foothills of Mount Olympus. It is flanked on the north by the Mount Olympus National Park, on the west by the God Complex, and just a few kilometers to the east by the town of Litochoro where the Olympus National Park Information Center resides.

Olympus National Park

Mount Olympus National Park is a natural area of ​​particular ecological significance because of the rare and diverse flora and fauna due to the geomorphological formations of the subsoil, the waters, the atmosphere and, in general, the natural environment.

God Complex

Zeus- The God Complex (1).png

The God Complex entails, the surrounding several miles around its center and tallest building, the GC HQ, various deity businesses and separate apartments of some gods who choose not to reside inside the floors allocated to them inside the HQ.

God Complex HQ

The God Complex Headquarters, commonly referred to as “The GC HQ” or “The Tower”, is a 112-story , 1476-foot (450 meter) skyscraper situated on the The God Complex in Olympus, Greece.

Face of History Museum

At the museum, Clio serves as one of the archivists. She safeguards records by creating film and digital copies, finds and acquires new materials for their archives, preserves and maintains documents and objects, and much more. During the day, people can get tours, explore the museum and attend history sessions.

Nox

Nox.png

Nox Nightclub, an exclusive pop-up club, mainly in Europe. A small sister location located down the street from the God Complex HQ, owned and operated by Nyx.

Nyxteria

Nykteria is the only establishment of its kind. There are no franchises. There are currently Keyholders in nine cities world-wide. These Keyholders maintain club fronts, which serve as portals into Nykteria. From the outside, patrons entering cannot tell that they have been transported to a different place. Entering, it looks like they have stepped into a nightclub. As a result, Nykteria has a whispered reputation of being anything from a pop-up rave to an elite social club to a front for the criminal underworld.

Whole Latte Love

Coffee Shop & Daycare, a 24-hour business that caters to all lifestyles and the children that come with it, across the street from Nox Nightclub, owned and operated by Nyx.

Atlantis

Atlantis1.jpg

Kingdom beneath the sea, ruled by Poseidon and his consort, Amphitrite.

Many great and wonderful deeds are recorded of your state [Athens] in our [the Egyptian's] histories. But one of them exceeds all the rest in greatness and valour. For these histories tell of a mighty power [Atlantis] which unprovoked made an expedition against the whole of Europe and Asia, and to which your city put an end.

This power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean, for in those days the Atlantic was navigable; and there was an island situated in front of the straits which are by you called the Pillars of Herakles (Heracles) [i.e. the Strait of Gibraltar]; the island was larger than Libya and Asia put together, and was the way to other islands, and from these you might pass to the whole of the opposite continent which surrounded the true ocean; for this sea which is within the Straits of Herakles is only a harbour, having a narrow entrance, but that other is a real sea, and the surrounding land may be most truly called a boundless continent.

Now in this island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire which had rule over the whole island and several others, and over parts of the continent, and, furthermore, the men of Atlantis had subjected the parts of Libya [Africa] within the columns of Herakles as far as Aigyptos (Egypt), and of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia [in Italy]. This vast power, gathered into one, endeavoured to subdue at a blow our country and yours and the whole of the region within the straits; and then, Solon, your country shone forth, in the excellence of her virtue and strength, among all mankind.

She was pre-eminent in courage and military skill, and was the leader of the Hellenes. And when the rest fell off from her, being compelled to stand alone, after having undergone the very extremity of danger, she defeated and triumphed over the invaders, and preserved from slavery those who were not yet subjugated, and generously liberated all the rest of us who dwell within the pillars. But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea. For which reason the sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable, because there is a shoal of mud in the way; and this was caused by the subsidence of the island.[1]

The Underworld

Underworld.jpg

The Underworld is considered the lands of the dead. After death, there is no annihilation of souls. The dead cross the Oceanus and arrive on the shores of the Underworld to lead a bleak, boring, sometimes toilsome, but always unhappy existence. Hades oversees the Underworld.

The DOMOS HAIDOU (House of Hades) was the land of the dead--the final resting place for departed souls. It was a dark and dismal realm where bodiless ghosts flitted across the grey fields of asphodel. The dead crossed a river, passed through gates guarded by the Hound, and presented themselves before the king and queen of the underworld, Hades and Persephone. The ghosts of the unburied were allowed to return to the realm above to visit the living in the form of dreams and demand a proper burial. The land of Hades was quite distinct from Tartarus-- prison-house of the Titans--which is described as lying as far beneath Hades as the earth beneath the heavens.

In the Odyssey the realm of Haides is described in greater detail. It was located at the ends of the earth, on the far shore of the earth-encircling river Oceanos (Oceanus), beyond the gates of the sun and the land of dreams. The land of the dead was enclosed by the Akherousian Lake and three rivers--the Styx, Kokytos (Cocytus) and Pyriphlegethon. A judge named Minos received the dead from Hermes Psykhogogos (Guide of Souls) and sentenced the most wicked to eternal torment.
