| - Born of the loftiest heights imaginable, the Children of the gods find themselves drafted into a modern war that never knew existed, by parents that were supposed to be anachronistic figures of Myth. but in the bustling city of Atlanta, the new Scions are rapidly discovering that the alleys and dark places are going rapidly to hell. Their parents fight like squabbling children for control of the Band's priorities, and their parents have little pull in a place that is so very close to the strongholds of the Loa and Native American Spirits, to say nothing of the bizartre things birthed of the modern. Deva, pesedjet, Kami and Child of heavenly bureaucrats. Their differences are many and myriad. If they can learn to work together long enough to survive the oncoming storm they just might have a prayer of living long enough to prove worthy to walk in the hallowed halls of their parents. But not all is well in the world. Roving bands of Scions hunt for titanspawn, and the children of their parentss' enemies. Dark powers are beginning to breach the barriers between the Overworld and the World, and Lost Gods who others thought were mere Myth or whimsical Fancy are coming out of their hiding places to kick the world back into gear their way. The Tuatha and Aesir rampage and burn the minions of the titans, while the scions of the Dodekatheon strive to show their prowess as mightier than all. The Loa begin dark rituals born of their children to turn men into guided weapons against darker powers, while the Gods of China, Egypt, India and Japan watch with eager eyes to see if their children can find a way to work together, or if they self-destruct in failure. Sacrifices must be made.
