Each ability is identified with one of the roles, and a small bonus will be given on any occasion on which ability lines up with its identified role.
Indies will have a secret group sub-game.
Host's Summary[]
Game Idea and Expectations[]
Game[]
In regards to the Indy Sub-game... I think that it can work, just it needs to have more of a recruiting pool (5 is way to small, I don't know if 7 would work) and also potentially have them removed from the main game until they are no longer able to be recruited?
Also I want to apologize to both Shad and the players for me seemingly disappearing, I got busy on the first couple of days and just couldn't pull myself back into the game after that.
Thank y'all for playing and I hope that y'all did enjoy the game though. ~~ Framm

Prologue |
---|
After spending centuries in the shadows of their respective countries’ lore, 4 mythos decided that it was time for them to make a return to the forefront of civilization. NORSE Odin Allfather woke from his slumber, having dreamed about a great war that was brewing upon the horizon. Summoning his greatest warrior Thor, the trickster Loki, and his wife Frigga, they set about preparing for the war that would beckon a new age for the prevailing gods and goddesses. EGYPTIAN Ra decided that this was the time for the Egyptian gods and goddesses to return to the forefront of the world’s mind. He went to his successors, the pharaohs Osiris and his son Horus; he knew that they were more than powerful enough to take on the other mythos preparing to take the battlefield. Osiris knew that war was never pretty; they would need someone skilled in protecting the warriors taking part in the fighting, so he called on his wife Isis to assist in the raising of the Egyptian Mythos. GRECIAN Zeus summoned Poseidon, Hades, and Hera to Mt. Olympus to discuss the coming storm against the strongest adversaries that they had ever faced. The discussion was as fierce as any before; as they strategized the best way to defeat those that threatened to take down one of the proudest religions the world had ever known. Knowing this could be the final fight they took no chances in setting up their defences. CELTIC Cliodhna heard the rumblings of war carried across the waves; she held little hope that her waves could protect their islands without aid. For a thousand years, all they’d sought was to carry on in peace, but this time it seemed they’d have to kill in their own defense. With her sister Eithne’s aid, she called upon the great warrior Cuchulain and the mage Math Mathonwy, the strongest with steel and the strongest with magecraft. They were the sisters’ only hope to protect the freedom they so cherished. ROMAN Diana could hear the echoing drumbeats as the other mythos gathered their forces. She was certain her comrades could survive; for centuries they’d hidden and adapted, gathering and losing strength with the tides of faith, piggybacking on other faiths or taking on their idols as needed. They would do the same this time, their heroes and gods released to take service where they chose. She gathered the others for a conference: her half-brother, Hercules of the Twelve Labors; the adopted goddess Cybele, already practiced at the blending they’d need to survive; and four heroes raised from Dis: Aeneas, son of Venus, forefather of Rome, the twin founders, Romulus and Remus, sons of Mars, and Cincinnatus, farmer and dictator, the honorable man. Each would be sent out on his own, solitary warriors joining to other flags for their own survival. |
Night 1 |
---|
Each pantheon gathered to plan: the Norse in Odin’s war room on Asgard; the Greeks around Zeus’s throne atop Mount Olympus; the Egyptians, thinking their homeland insufficiently secure, in Osiris’s realm, Amenti. Already outnumbered, realizing it was far too late to stand a change, the Celts gathered anyway, Eithne leading the others as they withdrew from the world for the last time. But they kept one eye turned, still watching as the others fought--perhaps they could claim the dead deities for Tir na nOg. Only the Romans did not gather, instead wandering freely over the world, occasionally turning back to the Roman curia to discuss what they had learned. Diana and Hercules looked to the Greeks--perhaps they could blend with their almost-father’s alliance. Romulus and Remus thought of the Egyptians, to whom the river was as central as in their own story. And Aeneas, the warrior forced to flee, considered the chances of the Norse, most warlike of them all. As night ended, the gods spread out, each with their own target. Thor took his hammer, seeking out Theta. Once he found him, a single blow from Mjolnir was enough to eliminate one competitor. But Hades had less luck. Finding Iota was simple enough; but it seemed there was disagreement among the Greeks--his sister Hera had chosen Iota to defend. Horus soared over the earth, looking for Omicron. Ah, there he was. Horus swooped down, taking his almost-human form as he landed, drawing his sword to cut down Omicron.
