Greek Gods

The **Greek Gods** are the beings that rule over the Ancient Greek Mythology system, with the official capital being Olympus. The Greek Gods are divided into three categories: Primordials (Gaia, Nyx, Uranus), Titans (Cronus, Rhea, Hyperion), and Olympians (Hades, Poseidon, Zeus), each being succeeding generations after the other. In addition to minor functionaries, each generation had created servants and assistants in the form of daimons.

## Overview

### Origin

The first of what would be known as the Greek Gods began with the fall of the Proto-Indo-European pantheon, whose members would later go off to create the foundations of the Norse, Hindu, and Greek pantheons, and many more. The first of the Primordials sought to create for themselves a home worth making, but first they needed the power to do so. To fulfill their desire, they stole essence of a powerful dragon that were created by the two dragons known as Ananke and Khronos.

### Foundation

The two ruling Primordials, Gaia and Uranus, began giving birth to the Cyclopes, Hecatonchires, and the Titans, however, Uranus would imprison all but the latter inside the Pit of Tartarus. Gaia later recruited the eldest Titan, Cronus, to overthrow his father in retaliation for doing such a thing to her own children.

Cronus, alongside a number of his Titan siblings, managed to castrate and overthrow Uranus as his mother wished. Despite helping, Cronus later re-imprisoned his Cyclopes and Hecatonchires brothers back into Tartarus against his mother's will. Cronus created the Golden Daimons to watch over humanity which led to their Golden Age. Fearful of being dethroned like his own father, Cronus began to imprison the children being born by Rhea (Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon). Once again scheming against the Chief God, Gaia enlisted the aid of Rhea, and later Zeus after his birth to rescue his siblings and overthrow Cronus.

After the victory of the Olympians from the ensuing Titanomachy, Zeus was crowned the new Chief God and Olympian reign was secured. As to be expected from the rather fickle Primordial, Gaia turned on her grandson when he had imprisoned his former enemies. Gaia birthed an entire tribe of Gigantes and, after they had failed, the monster Typhon to overthrow the pantheon, but both attempts had failed dramatically and Zeus ended up stripping Gaia of much of her power and imprisoning Typhon within Tartarus.

With their major opposition eliminated, the Trinity Pillar Gods (Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades) solidified their grasp on Olympus.

### Gaia's Wrath

Although she had been temporarily pacified through her depowering, Gaia still held a tremendous grudge against the Trinity for their perceived violation against her, and her children. She wallowed in self pity and anger, only until being found by the Fallen Angel Lucifer did she finally have a way to achieve her revenge. To fulfill both their desires, Lucifer gifted Gaia with the Divine Relic called the Enduring Womb, leaving the Primordial to her own devices.

Using the Enduring Womb, Gaia briefly allied herself with several Underworld daimons to retrieve the soul shards of several legendary creatures to re-create. After disposing of her temporary allies, Gaia revived several species and duplicated dozens of unique or rare creatures.

## Tribes

* **Protogenoi (Primordials)** are the first tribe that created the realm later named Olympus and gave birth to their children, the Titans. Ouranos, Olympus' original ruler, was castrated by his sons and his rule overtaken by Cronus.

* **Titans** are the previous generation of gods that ruled over Olympus following Cronus taking over Ouranos' throne. Although Cronus had removed his father from leadership, the Titan continued to make the same mistakes and imprisoned his brothers within Tartaros, leading to his usurpation by Zeus.
	+ **Chaos Titans** are abominations created through the Divine Relic Enduring Womb by using the wrath of Gaia as a catalyst. These lesser Titans were given form to battle the Olympian Gods during her rebellion against them. While powerful, the only advantage they had against the Olympians were their numbers, an advantage they eventually lost.

* **Olympians** were the third and current generation of gods to hold dominion over Olympus, being led by their Chief God Zeus. Following a similar pattern as his father, Zeus usurped Cronus and imprisoned him within Tartaros. Those Protogenoi and Titans who have recognized Zeus as their ruler have been allowed to remain within free from imprisonment.
