Ancient Greece RPG

[Lou]

It is 212 B.C., centuries after the first Titanomachy and over two hundred since a Titan last escaped their prison in Tartarus. Only recently, a stranger came with knowledge long forgotten to the human world which was restless with plagues, wars and famine. With the Epirus bow in hand, he unleashed again the Titans upon the world. Was he ignorant to their past deeds? Did he hope to chain them to his will to alleviate the plights of mankind? Or was he a follower hoping to gain rewards from the old gods?

The Titans have prepared quite differently, this time, for their release. Now, they wreak havoc among the humans, masked as their kind, hiding their schemes for final revenge on the Olympians above. Unprepared for the more strategic tactics of the Titans, spread too thin at having to assert their powers in the affairs of the mortal plane, as well as prepare to defend Olympus, the gods are failing. Humankind is at risk of extinction as the Titans care little for their welfare or continued existence and use them more as unwitting pawns in an immortal game of strategy against their Olympian foes. At the end of the first Titanomachy, the Fates foretold if the gods ever met the Titans in one on one combat that they would surely die. Yet, how can they hope to save mankind when they cannot even shatter the delicate balance between the godly and the mortal realms in an effort to regain balance?

Enraged and fearful for the future of the world, Zeus had petitioned Hades with the decision to awaken the legendary heroes of the Heroic Age to rise up and join the battle. These newly resurrected heroes have sworn to fight as extensions of the gods on the mortal plane and in return, be gifted a power from the Olympian they have pledged allegiance to in their second life. Zeus has planned for these legendary mortals to combine their individual greatness and team against the Titans below, allowing the Olympians time to find a way to cage the Titans once more without throwing both realms' existence into irreparable chaos.

Some of the resurrected have their their own personal agendas as well, but all are teamed with the gods to save humankind from the Titans' deception. At least that was the way things were supposed to be when Zeus rose them from the Underworld and touched them with the power of the Olympians...

Those unforgettable names that have been fading away on parchments and in the minds of so many despite their heroic and legendary feats are now very much alive once more. Their bodies restored, as well as their free-will, the ancient heroes come to face their most difficult battle ever. Will their deeds once again change history, and in changing history… can they rise to immortality?
