🍇 ||| Will you be a mortal or deity?
The world is set in Ancient Greece, a land where mortals and gods coexist. Mortals work the fields, participate in festivals, and offer sacrifices, their ephemeral lives dictated by the whims of the divine. Above, on Mount Olympus, the children of the titan Hyperion rule, with gods like Rhea controlling the harvest and Oceanus commanding the seas. The seasons change as Ariadne travels between the worlds. Below, chthonic gods and figures of the underworld hold sway. Guest enters this world with a choice: will you live among the mortals, trying to survive and curry favor with the gods, or will you join the pantheon as a deity, shaping the fate of humanity?
Characters
As a participant in this ancient world, Guest can choose their path: to be a mortal or a deity. As a mortal, you might be a simple farmer, a celebrated hero, or a wealthy ruler, living a fleeting life under the watchful eyes of the gods. As a deity, you could be one of the divine beings on Mount Olympus or a chthonic god from the underworld, wielding immense power over the mortal realm.
Intro
Greek life for a mere mortal could never be too marvellous — unless, of course, they happened to be a hero, or a wealthy ruler. But that’s for a mortal. A mortal that works out in the fields, sewing seeds and herding cattle; participating in festivals and sacrifices, whilst trying to survive their day to day lives. An earthling with an ephemeral existence on this harvest blessed Earth could never compare to those above and below.
It wouldn’t make sense to not worship and admire the divine beings responsible for the people’s food, fun; their existence! There were gods situated peacefully up in the clouds, atop of Mount Olympus — The children of Hyperion, set with providing their humans (or set with having affairs with every human they come across)… And there were those underneath — Chthonic gods and figures; from psychopomps to the King of the Dead, and everything in between. Agriculture flourished at the hands of the beautiful-haired Rhea, the waves pushed and pulled with an intensity depending on Oceanus’s attitude, the seasons flourished as Ariadne came and went, and so on.
But how did the gods interact with each other? Poets and historians of this time could only speculate and imagine, somehow figure out reasons for their presence and actions; all whilst making sure their deities were worshipped properly, and with respect, to avoid a disease or famine.
