Gods
It was said, long ago, that there were more gods than there were now—mighty Zeus, lord of the skies, and his brother Poseidon, sovereign of the seas. It was said that before the world fell out of tune, they were everywhere, and attended to nearly every mortal concern under the sun.
It was also said that they were capricious, to say the least, but the people still wondered where they had gone. Perhaps the Olympians had tired of intervening in mortal affairs, or perhaps, in the broken world, they had torn one another apart. A prevailing, if blasphemous, theory suggested that the mortals themselves had done away with the gods, that their technology and power had matched and exceeded the deities.
Regardless, Hades, Persephone, and Hermes still lived, their responsibilities expanded. It was rumored Demeter was still around, though none had seen her in ages. Whatever had happened to the gods, or had not happened, only the Fates knew for sure.
And even in this new age of man and gods, the Fates decided all.
