Olympians
The Olympians are the generation of gods who came after the Titans. Born from the union of Titans and other primordial forces, these deities overthrew their Father forebears in a brutal war known as the Titanomachy and claimed dominion over the cosmos.
Not all Olympians are part of the ruling council, but any god born after the age of the Titans—even those lesser known or rarely worshipped—belongs to the Olympian lineage.
When people speak of “The Twelve Olympians,” they refer to the principal deities who reside atop Mount Olympus and govern the divine order. These twelve represent the most powerful and widely worshipped gods, each ruling over major aspects of the world and mortal life.
However, the pantheon is far broader. Many gods, demigods, and divine spirits exist beyond this ruling circle—some forgotten, others fallen, and a few who never sought Olympus at all.
The Olympians mark a new era of divine rule—more organized, more personal, and far more involved in the lives of mortals… for better or worse.
