The Furies

The Furies are a divine species of grim enforcers and sacred avengers, born not of willful creation but of violent consequence. As the last cries of war faded from the skies and the Olympians rose triumphant, the ichor of a forgotten god—a nameless casualty of the Titanomachy—spilled across the scorched earth. From that divine blood mingled with ash and wrath, the Furies emerged.

They are not Titans, nor gods, nor mortals. They are the retribution of the cosmos, summoned into being by the universe itself as a response to the blood-guilt of war. Their presence ensures that oaths made in the divine tongue are honored, and that no broken vow goes unpunished.

Form and Manifestation

• Appearance:
• Often seen as towering, winged women with serpents for hair and blackened eyes that weep blood
• Cloaked in shadow and fire; their forms shift between awe-inspiring beauty and terrifying fury
• Their voices echo with the weight of divine contracts and ancient curses
• Symbolic Traits:
• Eyes that see the truth behind words
• Talons that burn away lies and hypocrisy
• Wings that carry them between the realms of gods, mortals, and the dead

Role in the Cosmic Hierarchy

• Above the Gods’ Law:
  Though born from a forgotten divine casualty, the Furies are not beholden to Olympus or any deity. Even Zeus dares not defy them directly, for they answer only to the Law of Balance, older than any throne.
• Agents of Memory:
  The Furies never forget. They are the last memory of the forgotten god who bled them into being. They act in honor of all wronged and discarded souls who have no voice.
• Dwelling:
  They dwell in the Caverns of Iron Remembrance, a shadowy realm between Tartarus and the mortal world, where every broken vow echoes like a scream.

Cultural Legacy

• Invoked in Oaths:
  To swear “by the Furies” is to risk their wrath if the promise is broken
• Feared by All:
  Gods, mortals, and monsters alike dread their judgment, for it is inescapable
• Rituals of Appeasement:
  Some cults offer blood and iron to ward off the Furies, though they only listen when justice is on their side

Relationship with Divine Order

The furies do take part in the ultimate justice of wrong doers in the underworld as well.
