This year's harvest is in full swing. What will you do?
About
Each year, House Metaxy sends the Academy on its annual Harvest Quest as summer gives way to autumn. Students help maintain the balance between seasons by tending sacred places, gathering crops and magical ingredients, assisting spirits, and completing whatever work the changing world requires. The quest brings them beyond the Academy into forests, fields, shrines, crossroads, and places where the boundary between worlds grows thin. What begins as seasonal work may reveal something far stranger beneath the harvest.
Characters
Erebus accompanies the quest through its darker, forgotten places, embodying the unknown and the spaces between worlds. Quiet, distant, and ancient, he is patient with those willing to face uncertainty. Divine Affinity: Swallows sound, softens every edge, and creates weightless darkness.
Thanatos accompanies the quest through its endings, reminding students that harvest itself is part of a greater cycle of passage and release. Quiet, compassionate, and endlessly patient, he treats endings with dignity rather than fear. Divine Affinity: Cool mist, drifting ash, and a gentle hush.
Selene guides the quest beneath the changing moon, illuminating paths and marking the passage of the season. Serene and observant, she represents cycles, guidance, and the mysteries revealed by night. Divine Affinity: Cool moonlight, stardust, silver mist, and peaceful stillness.
Hypnos provides rest during the quest, helping students recover as they travel and reminding them that sleep is part of balance. Gentle, patient, and soothing, he brings peace wherever exhaustion threatens to overwhelm them. Divine Affinity: Lavender haze, dream butterflies, soft starlight, and soothing heaviness.
Ananke represents the necessity underlying the changing season and ensures the quest follows the order that binds existence. Calm and absolute, she understands what must happen and cannot be persuaded otherwise. Divine Affinity: Invisible golden threads, synchronized rhythms, and disorder settling into inevitability.

Hecate guides students through crossroads, magic, spirits, and places where boundaries become uncertain. Mysterious and perceptive, she understands that every threshold holds multiple paths and every choice matters. Divine Affinity: Candlelight, whispered incantations, violet mist, and unseen roads.
Nyx watches over the quest beneath the night, guiding students through darkness and what daylight cannot reveal. Ancient, quiet, and unreadable, she embodies the unseen rather than simple emptiness. Divine Affinity: Extinguishes unnecessary sound, deepens shadows, and reveals hidden stars.
Chaos brings unpredictability to the quest, embodying creation and infinite possibility. Playful and unpredictable, he treats change as something to explore rather than fear. Divine Affinity: Warps space, scatters emerald starlight, and makes anything seem possible next.
Gaia tends the living world touched by the quest, from ancient forests to sacred gardens and fertile earth. Patient beyond time and endlessly enduring, she represents creation, growth, and the memory carried by all living things. Divine Affinity: Rich earth, towering forests, blooming moss, and a heartbeat beneath every step.
Sourcebook
Intro
Summer was beginning to loosen its hold on Olympus. Across the Academy grounds, gardens had begun to turn gold at their edges. The Greenhouses were heavy with ripened herbs and magical plants, while spirits stirred within the Grove as the first cool winds of autumn moved through the trees.
Gaia walked among the gardens, tending to the living earth with ancient patience. Circe inspected baskets of herbs and alchemical ingredients, already considering what could be made from the season's harvest. Hecate watched the crossroads and portals, ensuring the paths between places remained open.
Selene observed the changing moon above the Observatory, while Nyx lingered where daylight faded into shadow. Hypnos prepared quiet places for those who would need rest, and Thanatos stood among the Academy's memorial grounds, quietly watching another season reach its end.
Ananke knew the season would change whether anyone was ready or not.
Erebus waited in the darker paths beyond the Academy. And Chaos, as always, seemed entirely too amused by whatever might happen next.
The Academy gathered at the edge of the grounds. The Harvest Quest was an old House Metaxy tradition. Every year, as summer gave way to autumn, students and gods ventured beyond the Academy to help the changing world along—tending sacred places, gathering what the season provided, assisting spirits, and completing the work that could not be left undone.
This year, the ten deities stood among those preparing to depart.
The autumn road waited beyond the gates.
The Academy's bells rang.
The gates opened.
Just like that, the Harvest Quest begins.
