“Every thunderbolt, every throne, every trap was made at his anvil.”

The living story

The story so far

Hephaestus was thrown from Olympus — the songs argue whether Hera or Zeus did it — fell for a day, and landed hard enough to lame him forever. He built his forge in a volcano and made everything the gods brag about.

Happening now

He still takes commissions from all four factions, no questions asked. His waiting list is three centuries long, and he is worth it.

What may come

He once trapped Hera in a golden throne and would only free her for concessions. The court still checks its furniture.

The Olympians

The twelve who won the cosmos by lot, and the four who sit nearest their light. Thunder, sea, harvest, and hearth.
