Olympians

The Olympians were immortal beings that live in the plane of Heaven. They are responsible for the death of many Primordial gods, the Great Division and the construction of the Olympus Gateway. After the destruction of the Olympus Gateway, many Olympians were killed, died or had faded away being too weak from lack of heaven fire energy to sustain their immortality. The Olympians also sired demi-gods known as angels which they used to serve their interests in the mortal plane and to fight against demons that may have entered into the mortal plane.

Olympians, as the offspring of primordial gods have the affinity for heaven fire energy but are capable of learning other affinities.

Notable Olympians

 * Zeus
 * Poseidon
 * Athena

Plot to overthrow the Primordial Gods
Seeing the constant state of conflict that plagued the original plane of existence, Zeus, Poseidon and Athena conspired to split the plane into three forever separating the three dominant races (mortals, demons, gods). Doing this required an immense amount of primal energy. To get the required energy, the three Olympians made a deal with some demons to learn how to use chaos energy. Once mastered, they hunted and killed the many primordial gods and siphoned vast amounts of chaos energy from them. Once they had enough energy, they split the original plane into three: The Plane of Heaven, The Mortal Plane and Hell. They then built a permanent gateway on Mt Olympus to allow travel and siphoning of heaven fire to fuel their and the rest of the Olympians' immortality.

Extermination of the Primordial Gods
In order to amass the required primal energy to divide the original plane, Zeus, Poseidon and Athena (along with other Olympians), hunted and killed many Primordial gods. Among those hunted and killed were Medusa, Euryale's sister. Some primordial gods managed to evade the Olympians namely Euryale, Stheno and Ceto.

Great Division and Deal with Humanity
After eliminating and amassing Chaos energy from primordial gods, Zues, Poseidon and Athena had enough combined energy to separate the original plane into three. Following the division the three approached human leaders and made a deal with them that in exchange for worship, they would grant human souls access to the Plane of Heaven upon death, otherwise their souls would remain in the mortal plane to be claimed by the demons. Given that demons could not easily travel to the mortal plane, this threat was rather weak and later exploited by the Succubi-Demon alliance. For hundreds of years the Olympians enjoyed exclusive worship from humans but this would not last. Secretly, the succubi, who are masters of stealth and diplomacy, infiltrated human power structures and convinced much of humanity that the Olympians were simply exploiting them. They persuaded humanity to join the succubi and demons on an attack at the Olympus Gateway and shut off the Olympian's near-exclusive access to the mortal plane.

Assault of Olympus and the Fall of the Olympians
Joining the Succubi-Demon alliance, the new combined power launched an assault on the Gateway at Olympus. Angels and Olympians protected the Gateway but because of the great numbers of the combined power, they quickly retreated into the Plane of Heaven suffering many losses. Many Olympians were killed including Zeus. Athena, seeing her father, Zeus perish, fled into the mortal plane and took on a disguise for several millennia. Poseidon retreated back into the Plane of Heaven but because reclusive and full of hate for the loss of his brother Zeus and many of his kin. He would wage many battles again demon-kind on the mortal plane but was never able to make a meaningful or lasting effort against the demons.

Being cut off from their primary source of energy, the Olympians could not wage effective war against the demons and many Olympians simply faded away into the void. Angels, being less reliant on heaven fire energy than their parents being half-mortal, continued sparse attacks on demon-kind in the mortal realm, but their numbers greatly diminished over time. Eventually they resigned to simply managing the affairs of the plane of heaven and acting as judges for human souls who wanted access into heaven upon death.
