Big updates to drop! Well, mythos drops for loyal fans.
Lightning Chasers is going ot follow many of the same beats as Globe Tracers but huge changes are on the way. The mythos is looking to be far more robust this time- I see it as Globe Tracers had to walk so the Chasers could run!
The pharaohs, a race created in Ancient Egypt, ventured into space to develop apart from humanity. They returned to Earth for conquest, then calling themselves the nation of Osiris. They named the mountain they landed on Olympus, which was a derivative of Osiris for them. Their nobility, the Neter, then became the Olympians, ie, the Greek gods.
The Neter were defeated by the Titans, a faction among the Hema commoners, which freed the ancient Greeks and led to the current order.
Pharaoh homeworld= Pyre
Nation- The Concord of Prometheus
Citizens of the Concord- Promeethees
The Concord is a union of Polities taken from the ancient Greek name for city-states. The first of the polities of the Concord were named after the Titans of Greek myth, Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus, Theia, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Tethys, Atlas, Helios, Leto, and the capital Cronus. The territories taken from their enemies are called Zau, Per-Wadjet, and Lunu, named after ancient Egyptian cities by the original nation of the Pharaohs.
Polities are divided into Demoi, the singular of which is Demos, taken from one of the ancient Greek terms for a kind of city.
A solar bomb attack on Hestia, which is a demos in Theia, drove Kyle and Jessica from Pyre. Fifteen thousand people were killed in an instant, with over ten thousand more dying from injuries. Now, the Concord conflicts with the battle-obsessed Aesir, who are given to terrorism, because it evokes continuous war without resolution.
