Perpetual War

After the Battle of Verdun on 18 December 1916, the Greek gods revealed themselves, moved by humanity's catastrophic losses and determined to prevent another devastating war. Their return changed the world overnight: cities rose from ruins in gleaming marble, ancient languages were spoken once more, and pagan temples replaced churches and mosques.

Yet peace proved fragile. A schism among mortals sparked an even deadlier conflict, the Great Crusade, claiming over a billion lives. Now, twenty years later, the Athenian Republic stands on the brink, desperate for demigods to spearhead their ageing forces against the fearsome Boeotian Confederation.

In this war-torn alternate universe, heroes like Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase may be humanity's last hope for an true "eternal" peace.
