## Contents

### Gods

#### Deceased at the start of the Agon:

Aphrodite - goddess of beauty, procreation, pleasure, and love

Ares - god of war and bloodlust

Dionysus - god of fertility, religious ecstasy, frenzy, theater, wine, and vegetation

Hephaestus *(powers removed from the Agon*) *-* god of fire, smiths, and stone- and metalwork
Jasonides

The descendants of Jason. Their symbol is the ram (likely the Golden Ram).

## History

Like the other bloodlines, they participated in the Agon. Eventually, during the 1500s, the The Meleagrides and The Bellerophonides were purged, even Jason's descendants helping.

The bloodline died out after theirs, but the timing is unknown.
Hunters

The Hunters are the bloodlines' fighting force.

## Attire and Tools

On top of whatever they wear underneath (Iro is known to wear body armor underneath her hunter's robes), hunters traditionally wear black robes. They also have masks to hide their identities.

Daggers and other blades are common during the Agon, and are usually steel. When dealing with hunters, guns can be used, however when offing a god, they are scared of missing out on a god's power with a gun, as Zeus specified 'bold **blade**'. Bows abd arrows may be used sometimes, but the specifics on them are unknown.

## Techniques

The hunters are known to always wear masks to hide their identities. Guns are used only on humans, and they usually take the corpses.

## Conditioning

The Agon and bloodlines are full of conditioning to make the next generation loyal and obedient.

#### Loyalty

For loyalty, every child is told that their parents are *biologically* their mother and father, but their true father is the archon, and everything they do, every drop of blood they shed, is for the archon. As such, to kill a god if not the archon is dishonorable. Iro remarks that Castor stole Apollo's power from the archon (Phillip). There is no greater honor than dying for the bloodline in combat to the hunters.

#### Kleos

The hunters place a lot of value on kleos, the concept of being remembered and celebrated beyond your death. Becoming a god as archon is usually the height of a hunter's goal--hunters won't kill gods on purpose; usually they'll drag them in for the archon to kill.

#### Pain

Hunters are tought to never scream or express their physical pain when they are attacked or injured. The only time hunters are seen breaking this is when, in *Mortal*, Castor Achilleos burns them alive. Even when lionesses fall from a roof that is shattered by Castor's power, they do not express their pain.
Greek Myth References

This page is a compilation of the stories referenced in the book.

## Bloodlines

Achillides: Achilles (Greek: Ἀχιλλεύς, Achilleús) was the son of Thetis and Peleus. He was known for indomitable strength in battle, with the later addition in Statius's Achilliad of invincibility everywhere but his heel. He was in a relationship with his longtime boyfriend Patroclus.

* Thetis House derives its name from his mother, a sea-goddess.

Kadmides: Kadmos or Cadmus (Κάδμος) was the founder of Thebes, and wife of Harmonia. This is referenced in the For Fans of Lore bonus content, revealing their relic was Harmonia's necklace.

* The Phoenician's name refers to Kadmos and his origins, that being Phoenicia.

## Prologue

Wrath mentions that Hermes's father and his father before him had been overthrown. This references the story that Ouranos was the first king of the universe, before Kronos overthrew him with his siblings, the Titans' help, and then Zeus overthrew Kronos witb his siblings.

## Part One

Castor says that Lore fights like a Fury. The Furies, also called the Erinyes, were three female spirits of vengeance, who would hound and torment those who broke taboos like kin-killing. Their names were Alecto, Megara, and Tisiphone.

Athena's eyes are said to resemble sacrifical smoke. In the ancient Greek religion as commonly practiced, sacrifices would be burned on an altar to the gods.

The Kadmides were said to have broken a sacred vow, as people would swear on the gods, and the gods on the river Styx, to be enforced by the sworn-on.

Athena calls Lore the little Gorgon, one of three sisters, including Medusa. Medusa was the only killable Gorgon, Stheno and Euryale being immortal.

Dionysus's past is mentioned--he was born to Semele, daughter of Kadmos, and Zeus, but his cousin Pentheus refused to believe his ancestry.

The Omphalus is a stone from Delphi, a very holy site to Apollo. Zeus had put two eagles at opposite ends of the world, and where they reunited was supposedly the center.

The Pegasus was born from Medusa's neck after she died, and was sired by Poseidon.
Dorcas

Dorcas is a member of the house of the Odyssides, and Iro Odysseos's mother.

## Biography

Growing up in the Odyssides, she was friends with Helena Odysseos. She is implied to have kept contact with her best friend when Helena married Demos Perseous, the only member of the Perseides left.

She married the archon of the Odyssides and had a daughter, Iro. Iro and her best friend's daughter, Lore bonded quickly.

However, Dorcas grew disillusioned with her society. After Helena died, she faked her own death, and left the Odyssides and her former world forever. She couldn't take the archon's daughter without raising suspicion, so Iro was left behind.

When Lore lived with the Odyssides, Iro and Lore broke into the taped off and forgotten rooms of Dorcas. They found one slip of paper, saying what translates to 'I make war'.

Iro was later reached out to by Dorcas in a letter, explaining that she left.

## Relations

### Iro (Daughter)

Iro respected her mother and never really knew her. After the secret of Dorcas surviving came to light. they started to rebuild their relationship. Iro feels ashamed of her mother to some degree, but understands the reasoning.

### Helena (Cousin/Friend)

Mentioned as best friends, not much is known on the specifics of their relationship.

### Iolas Odysseos, later Heartkeeper (God, Former Archon and Husband)

Their relationship is never expanded on. It could have been purely political or based on love.
Heartkeeper

Heartkeeper, formerly Iolas Odysseos, was the last new Aphrodite and a former archon of the Odyssides.

### Relatives

Iro (daughter), former archon of Odyssides (second cousin)

## Biography

Born an Odysside, he presumably worked his way up to becoming archon. He married Dorcas, and had a daughter, Iro Odysseos. He was strict to Iro, but not entirely without love.

During the 211th Agon, he killed the last new Aphrodite and became Heartkeeper. The post of archon no one wanted to fill, so an interim Odysside archon took it up (his second cousin). The entire bloodline tried currying favor from him. When he appeared to the bloodline, Lore was never present.

When Wrath and the Kadmides attacked Ithaka House, he was captured and his mouth duct-taped shut so his powers couldn't be used (much like Ares's power, it requires him to be heard to work). His last words were begging Iro to look away as his torso was cut in half.
Fate-binding

Binding one's fate is a thing that gods can do that binds a human and a god's fates together; should one die, the other will as well.

## Mechanics

If one person in the binding dies, the other will die (if they can). It's not known if they will die in the same manner or not. Consent seems to be required to enter it.

## Usage

There is only one known time it was used; when Lore's ancestor bound himself to Dionysus. Both died when Damen Kadmou killed Dionysus. Athena pretended to with Lore, however it was a ruse.
World of Gods

> We were punished not for the lives lost but for interfering in the lands of other gods, which threatened the peace of ours--the world beyond the knowing of mortals.
>
> Athena, Chapter 6

The world of gods is the world where the Olympians dwell.

## Nature

It is heavily implied that the Olympians share this world with other gods, potentially other pantheons, and that Earth is split between them. Trying to interfere with another god's land would upset other gods.

> My father does not control the whole of the world. There are many lands and many gods.
>
> Athena, Chapter 42

Halfstead

**Halfstead** is a thriving city perched upon the foothills of the Sturmwahl Mountains. Originally founded by the Dwarven Sovereignty, it was named as a reference to its location as the midway point between Gurgrum and the Dwarven capitol, Dunecrag, The city is also centrally located between Almora, Brindor, and The Scar and is the last known place of residence for the heroes Argus, Chucko, and Hitoshi.

### The Post-Tower Age:

Following the victory over King Malek and the collapse of the Tower of Almora, Brindor gifted the region surrounding the Sturmwahl Mountains to the newly formed Dwarven Sovereignty in a show of support to burgeoning nation. The fertile plans would provide the Sovereignty with a source of food crops, but would also establish the Dwarven nation as a buffer between Almora and Brindor.

Now in control of the Sturmwahl Mountains, a farming settlement is established in the fertile region below the western slopes with the Dwarven government offering free homesteads and farmland for any who wish to relocate. Many of Almora's non-human residents, fleeing the deteriorating situation in Almora, flock to the area and the town of Halfstead is founded.

After having twice come to Gurgrum's aid, the Dwarven government offers Reluan farmland and sole proprietorship of the local tavern, which he accepts and names the Soft Landings Inn. He is then “volunteered” as the town’s first mayor.

### The War of the Gods:

On an excursion into Arborealis, Chucko was gifted a peculiar seed and a vial of magic rainwater from Aria the Mother. Planting it next to his home, it sprouted overnight into a massive tree with a wide trunk and broad canopy. This "Tree of Life" or "Chukko" tree as it is called in Tengu traditionally represents the cultural center of a Tengu community. Since its planting, Chucko's Tree has become somewhat of a local and regional landmark.

The bloodlines view it as gloomy, with rivers, which seems to be accurate. In Lore's dream, it appears as having a sluggish river, with shards of stones on the banks, icy air, and having a simple shift that scratches her. It is craggy and bleak, and very gray.

As Lore dies and escapes during Mortal, the place sseems to resemble Lore's old apartment, with a window and Olympia's drawings taped up, but also blood. Outside, after Lore leaves it, it is gray, foggy, and seems to breathe. The river is cold, and as she is guided by Hermes, the world flickers between the river and River House. Her return to the world is compared to shadows curling around her.

### Inhabitants

The dead Perseides resemble how they did with their injuries inflicted by Athena, but the gods appear indistinct, glowing gold.

## Background in Greek Myth

The Greek Underworld, called Hades after its ruler, was the place where the dead went.

#### Iliad

According to the Iliad, Hades won dominion over it in a game of lots with Poseidon and Zeus to decide who would get where.

#### Homeric Hymns

Hades would eventually ask Zeus for his daughter, Persephone, in marriage, and abducted her without Demeter's knowledge. Demeter wandered the world looking for her daughter while causing famine to pressure Zeus. The situation was resolved when Zeus sent Hermss down to get Persephone, who missed Demeter. Hades tried to persuade her to stay, and tricked her into eating pomegranate seeds. She returned to the surface happily, but Demeter asked if she had eaten, warning her. Persephone describes what had happened, and Rhea approaches her daughter, Demeter, and tells her to forget her anger at Zeus and end the famine.

#### Erebus

Erebus (Ἔρεβος) is another term for the underworld, much like Hades. He is often the son of Khaos, personifying darkness. According to the Theogony, he was born from Khaos with Nyx (Night) and they had Aether and Hermera. It is often unclear if he is the underworld itself or a metaphor, or something like the gloom of the underworld instead.
Parthenoi

Parthenoi are a role in Blooded society, that being as wives and little else. Like all other roles, they are raised that way from when they are young.

## Roles

Parthenoi are little more than wives--they are trapped in that role. They bear children, are completely submissive to their husband, and are generally completely powerless. They are trained to be that way from when they are little, and have the same expectation of falling in line. It is implied they have no agency over their bodies, as shown when Phillip presents the finest of the Achillides' parthenoi to their new god, Castor, and tells him that when they have their period, he could take one as a mistress sexually. They can be groomed openly, whereas male grooming (probably referring to pederasty) isn't normalized.

During the Agon, they are hidden away.
Bakkos

Damen Kadmou was the first new Dionysus. His mask was displayed in The Phoenician.

## Appearances

### Debut

City of Gods (mentioned); new god name revealed in softcover bonus content

## Biography

Currently the only thing known about Damen is his battle with Dionysus.

The Kadmides had a grudge against the old Dionysus since the beginning of the Agon. Dionysus had survived for a few centuries until the beginning of the thirteenth century against them. On the Acropolis of Athens, Damen was able to kill him with a small blade; he only had that blade and his mask with him at the time. This required him to fight against the illusions that Dionysus tried weaponizing against Damen.

Upon Dionysus's death, he took the name Bakkos as the first new Dionysus.

## Etymology

Bakkos, also Anglicized as Bacchus, is one of Dionysus's most famous epithets, meaning 'noisy'.
BTS

BTS is a Kpop boy group from South Korea with affiliations to Riamu Yumemi in the Riamu Cinematic Universe. Riamu is good friends with all the members, as they all attended her post-destruction-of-the-P-Sama-factory party she started after killing the last Joker P-Sama, which happened after she made Hiddlesama (Hiddle P-Sama) so don't worry guys he's still alive haha

BTS consists of 7 members, Jimin (the wizard), Jungkook (the dark mage), Namjoon/RM (The Loki fan, no im not fucking joking he said loki was SEXY during a vlive once im not making this up guys), Yoongi/Suga (the catboy), Jin/Seokjin (The dilf apparently), J-Hope/Hoseok (The hobi), and V/Taehyung (the vampire ordering the oreo mcflurry at mcdonalds). They are all close friends with Riamu, she gets along quite well with them but especially Namjoon, as they're both huge Loki fans.

Like Riamu, they are idols, and thus, they have songs, such as IDOL (2018), Dynamite (1942), Butter (2001), Dope (1990), Boy in Luv (2004), Boy with luv (2005), and The McDonald's Jingle (2021). They have more songs but do you think i fucking have them all on hand right now

Promotional Images

Chapter 27 was revealed in a promotional still September 27, 2020 to commemorate 100 days till release. It reads,
"Lore clawed at the hand choking her, head throbbing and half-blinded by the veil of dust choking the air.
His fingers tightened, and as her vision began to go dark, Lore fely her spine compress, ready to crack. She thrust her dagger up again and again until it finally stabbed through the Reveler's forearm. He howled in pain, his grip loosening just enough for her to drop down and roll away, coughing.
The Reveler retracted his arm through the wall. The hole it left revealed the rest of the room, the way a section of it extended to nearly the exact spot she'd chosen to stand.
Lore grimaced. *Great job as always.*
Athena glowered and moved Lore out of her way. She tore at the damaged (cut off) dory, widening the hole until it was large enough to (cut off)
(Cut off) her voice raw. A bestial"
The section is the same as the final release.

Track 61

Track 61 is a subway track and the location of the final confrontation against Wrath.

## Track 61

### Usages

To have train cars go along it (first for a president, then for Wrath's seafire car

### Debut Chapter

52

Built in the Roosevelt administration, it was used at the time to keep a secret from the public. The secret was the president's paralysis; he had this track made to transport him.

Wrath later incorporated it into his plan as the line where the Kadmide Seafire Car would run and spread seafire, burning the city down.

## Appearance

A very long track, it is cavernous. During the events of the book, it gets flooded with water, making it hard to walk on without getting wet. There is a massive elevator that goes up to the parking garage of a hotel. It is noted as extremely dark, but lanterns are hung in areas for Wrath to use.

Kadmides

The Kadmides, descendants of Kadmos (rendered in other transliterations as Cadmus or Cadmos) are the bloodline represented by a snake.

## Kadmides, the house of Kadmos

### Symbol

A serpent (the serpent that Kadmos killed, or, alternatively, Kadmos and his wife Harmonia after they were turned into serpents)

### Divine Item

The necklace of Harmonia (still in the bloodline)

## Information

### Industries

Textiles, shipping (both taken from Perseides), war profiteering (implied)

## History

The Kadmides started as all of the other bloodlines did, with a hero, in this case Kadmos, and his descendants.

They accrued power over time, and by the time of the book are a powerful family in the Agon.

At one point, one of their hunters, Damen, took down Dionysus. His bloodied mask was on display in one of their properties, The Phoenician, a restaurant.

After Rhea Perseous became a god, the other bloodlines were enraged, and they culled the entire line of the Perseides in the hunt. The Kadmides led the charge and got the aegis. It was useless in their hands, however.

About two or more cycles before the last Agon, Aristos Kadmou became archon. Aristos had a reputation, and he tried to convince Demos Perseous (the archon of the Perseides) to sell Lore as a child bride to him. It didn't work, even with his offers of wealth that the bloodline utterly lacked. The aegis was stolen and hidden by Lore.

When Aristos killed the former new Ares, he became Wrath. Wrath in between cycles nurtured and manipulated conflicts so he could profit. At the last Agon, he ended up killing Hermes and capturing Tidebringer. Tidebringer flooded the city for them, and Wrath's plans to eliminate old gods and sacrifice the city of New York were set into motion.

Wrath eventually allied with Athena, despite Belen Kadmou, his son's objections. Belen was killed, despite being right. He trapped his hunters, and tried to kill them. The Kadmide Seafire Car was set up by him to take advantage of the flood, but Lore destroyed it. The Kadmides, despite losing their god, had to work to stop the fire. It succeeded. Their current status after the book is unknown.

## Information from the Quiz

*The quiz' canonicity is dubious. Take it with a pinch of salt.*

The description of the House of Kadmos is,

"You're an ambitious hunter and will stop at nothing to get what you desire. Not only that, but others admire you for your tenacity, sharp eyes and wit. You're well-read and like to plan every little detail of any event you're involved in. You're a cunning fighter and often pick up on little details others would miss.

You will do well in the upcoming Agon..."

## List of Known Kadmides

* Wrath (god of bloodline)
* Belen
* Six deceased wives of Wrath
* Chares
* Chare's hunter friends

Acantha Acilleos

**Acantha Acillious, formerly Acantha Thesous,** is a former huntress of the Theseides and wife of Phillip Achilleous.

## Acantha Acilleos

### Relatives

All Theseides (relatives)Bloodblade/Heron Theseous (ancestor/distant relative)Unnamed Theseous Hunter (relative)

### Occupation

Likely one of the Parthenoi, formerly a hunter for one cycle

### Bloodline

Thesides (by birth), Achillides (by marriage)

## Biography

Acantha was born a member of the Theseides, and was well-known by the end of her first Agon. Soon after, she married an Achilleous, and lost her lioness status.

When Castor Achilleos was honored by the Achillides, she was largely spoken for by Phillip. Her ultimate fate is unknown.

## Personality

She is known to be a good hunter and at least somewhat merciful, in comparison to Phillip at least.

## Trivia

-She is the only named member of the Theseides to appear, and the only named Thesous prior to the For Fans of Lore section in the softcover edition.

-Acantha is the only known Theseous to appear, have speaking lines
Demos Perseous

The last male member of the Perseides, and its last archon.

## Personality

Demos was known to be hot-tempered like Lore, however he, by the end of his life, had learned to cool it when he needed to. He was moral and not swayed by promises of wealth beyond his dreams from Aristos Kadmou. He wasn't afraid to criticize and even sometimes mock Aristos, much to the Kadmou's chagrin.

## Relationships

### Helena Perseous/Odysseos

She and Demos were married. Their relationship is never expanded on much, however it did seem to be stable and loving.

### Lore/Melora Perseous

He, as Lore's father, tried to help her when she needed it (like when explaining how her courage would scare off some evils, but others would 'delight in the chase').

### Aristos Kadmou/Wrath

He and Aristos had a rivalry, and both traded insults to each other. Aristos looked down on Demos, saying he 'lived in squalor', and showing little regard for the extermination of the Perseides that Aristos himself's grandfather led, saying that his ancestors were slaughtered like pigs. Demos felt that Aristos was desperate in purpose of the invitation. For all of the show that Aristos put on, it was just masking the desperation Aristos felt in wanting the Aegis to be more than decor. This enraged Aristos in a way reflective of his immense ego; someone 'beneath him', daring to insult, refuse, or defy him? Demos was either good at masking his fear or didn't fear Aristos at all. He always kept an even tone with the other archon.
Chiron

Chiron is a dog that would follow Lore and Castor.

# History

## Pre-Book

Lore and Castor used to adventure around with Chiron following behind, beleaguered. When Lore would stay at Castor's bedside to keep him from being lonely, Chiron would be there, too, keeping watch.

## City of Gods

Lore runs into him in Castor's room. Chiron recognizes Lore, and hears Phillip. He stands up and growls at Phillip, who tells him to stand down. Chiron is nervous about Castor.
Chiron attacks Castor sometime later, when Phillip and Van leave. Castor tries to calm him down and get him to recognize Castor. He eventually does, but is suspicious. Castor pets Chiron, but Phillip comes in disguised as a Theseous hunter through a panel. Chiron barks loudly, standing up on the bed, which lets Lore smash a marble bust into Phillip's head. Chiron whines and sniffs the slumped Castor's hand indicating the tranquilizer Phillip used.
Castor wakes up, attacking Lore, but Chiron howls, holding Castor's arm back, using fangs. When Castor recognizes her and stops, all Lore does in the awkward silence is press her face into Chiron's fur. During Castor and Lore's conversation, Chiron licks her face. Castor jokes that he is twisting the knife in deeper, and Lore pets Chiron in silent thanks.
When Artemis appears, he jumps down from the bed in front of them, growling and lunging at her. She uses her power on him, to make him roll over and stop. He tries to hide under the bed to avoid her, but she tries to control him again. He fights back, sounding like he was stabbed, but then goes rigid and charges, more rabid than ever before.
Castor steps between Lore and Chiron, and she stops manipulating him. He whimpers, and Lore holds him close as Castor attacks. Castor whines and scratches to escape in the aftermath, and escapes into the rubble

# Appearance

He is described as having being shaggy, with a dark coat, long ears, a bearlike face, and large, dark eyes. His muzzle is turning white. He is a Greek Shepard, and enormous.
Bookish Box Edition

The Bookish Box Edition is a special edition of Lore.

## Appearance

The cover of this edition is completely unique, with primary colors of gold and beige-gray. Unlike the standard cover, Lore is featured in the foreground of the art, holding a golden sword upright. Behind her is the head of Medusa rendered similar to a Gorgoneion in beige. A golden laurel wreath encircles Medusa, with a pattern encircling that. A dark white-gray is the background color. The pages are gilded.
Lore's Brownstone

Lore's brownstone is a townhouse she received after Gil's 'death'.

## Properties and Appearance

The building is about three stories high, and has flowers outside it. During the events of City of Gods, blood goes everywhere, but it is cleaned up.

Inside, there are boxes of clothing and Gil's holiday bow ties. The furniture is ornate dark oak with intricate carvings and bone inlays. It's likely there is lots of green velvet, as the Reveler mentions that Hermes was a fan of the material. Dust covers a lot of the stuff inside, because Lore couldn't bear to change the arrangements out of respect to Gil's memory.

Specific items of note include

* A tortoise sculpture mentioned as looking horrendous, yet treasured by Gil. Tortoises were sacred to Hermes, and he invented the lyre using one.
* A picture of Lore, Gil, and Miles shortly after Miles moved in.
Archon

The archon is the head of the mortal bloodline, only second to a bloodline's god in command.

## Status

The archon is the head of the bloodline, but the young of the bloodline are taught that he is their true father (patér). Everything they do is for the bloodline, but more specifically, the archon.

The only mortals that rival him in power are the elders of a bloodline, but are still seemingly below the archon. The archon still takes orders from any gods, however. He also is the one who, if hunters catch a god, is supposed to kill the god and ascend (as seen with Heartkeeper and Wrath).

Despite being an archon, however, they are subject to societal rules, such as xenia (hospitality) or the laws against kin-killing--an archon will seemingly be killed for murdering a blood relation to ascend.

## Roles

Before an Agon, the archons will all meet and vote on where to move the Omphalus, which controls the Agon's location. They also get priority on ascention with captured gods, and will order the bloodline around.

## Succession

The archon is voted on at the start of an Agon (it isn't known if this only happens when there is a vacancy) by men. If the archon dies or ascends before then, the title passes to the closest male relation--his sons, brother, or nephew, or even a cousin.

## Current Archons

Achillides: None known, formerly Phillip Achilleos.

Odyssides: None, last archon was Heartkeeper before he ascended, interim was a distant cousin but was killed. No one replaced him, Heartkeeper's daughter Iro Odysseos acted as one but refused the title.

Kadmides: Unnamed but known to have one

Theseides: Unknown

Perseides; Last confirmed was Demos Perseous, Lore Perseous was his heir when he died. Lore is unrecognized but is by default.

## Special Cases

* In the Achillides, despite there being a god in the bloodline (Castor), he wasn't able to manifest a physical form, and even when he did, Phillip, the archon
Seven Years Ago

Seven Years Ago is a type of section in Lore.

## Status and Classification

Seven Years Ago are not numerical chapters, and not labelled as such. That said, they are demarcated the same way as numerical chapters are and function as normal chapters are, and as such are categorized as special chapters here as subdivisions of parts.
