Description
Zeus is dead. You don't know who did it or how they committed the atrocity, but you do know it has left a huge power vacuum on Mount Olympus. Hestia has summoned you all to Olympus so that you might elect a new king of the gods and aid her in uncovering Zeus' murderer.
This is a game set in ancient Greece when the gods of Olympus held dominion over all mankind. It is a time of heroes, monsters, gods and villains.
Last night a great cry shook Olympus. It was Hades shouting "He's dead, he's dead." When you ran to the noise, you found Hades in Zeus' apartments, Zeus, stabbed to death at his feet. He swears that Zeus was dead when he walked into the room, and you found no murder weapon or blood on Hades. Hestia has summoned you to solve Zeus' murder and you must also elect a new overlord.
There is another pressing matter, the Persians have invaded Greece and are burning your temples. If a new dread lord is not elected soon and you do not deal with this violent threat to your rule; what power will you have left? Worse still, what will they do to your champions, the heroes of Greece and your artefacts of power if they capture them?
