 Olympus, like [[Asgard]], was one of the first realms to fully manifest after the [[Demiurge]] surged into awareness. The entrance to Olympus was placed atop the peak of Mount Olympus in the nation now known as Greece.
-The current Gods of Olympus include [[Zeus]], the [[primarch]]; and his siblings, children, and cousins. The prime pantheon is [[Hades]], [[Poseidon]], [[Hera]], [[Hestia]], [[Demeter]]. Notable children include [[Ares]], [[Apollo]], and [[Artemis]]. Several potent [[ideologue]]s representing abstractions such as Anger or material concepts like the Ocean also exist. The remnants of the first generation of Olympians, the Titans, also dwell in Olympus. Except for a handful of Titans, most of the gods of Olympus are progeny of Zeus or his immediate siblings.

 Olympians are truly immortal and almost impossible to kill. Every Olympian is directly related to [[Gaea]], and through her, closely connected to the Demiurge. They wield immense magical powers, particularly when in defense of their personal idealogical domains-- even when off Olympus.

-At first, Olympus was populated by primordial forces given sentience. [[Gaea]] gave shape to abstractions such as Love and reinforced spiritual idealogues for such things as Night, Day, Mountains, Seas, and even vague concepts such as emotions.
+At first, Olympus was populated by primordial forces given sentience. [[Gaea]] attracted many [[ideologues]] with her gentle nature, and they manifested with notions such as Love, emotions like Anger, and concepts such as Mountain and Ocean.
-It was Uranus who was the first of the [[New Gods]] of Olympus to walk through that land. He and Gaea shaped Olympus into a realm of remarkable beauty, the forces of nature arraying themselves around his will as he shaped it to his vision.

-From Uranus and Gaea would come the first generation of his progeny. Due to their close relationship with Gaea, the Titans are arguably closer to the [[Elder Gods]] in power and capability. Called Titans, they numbered twelve in all. Seeking more godlings to add to his power, Uranus demanded Gaea bear him more children.  She brought six more beings into life: the Cyclopes and the Hecatoncheries. Uranus hated these youngest and bound them to the darkest bowels of Tartarus, finding them ugly and their lack of magic a disappointment. Their misery and resentment grew so great that Tartarus began to border other infernal realms, such as [[Hell]].

-Angry, Gaea demanded of the Titans that one among them castrated Uranus and take the power of Olympus from him. The youngest Titan, Cronus, attacked his sleeping father and castrated Uranus. From the blood spilled rose up the Furies, the Giagantes, and the nymphs. Uranus' testicles were absorbed by the spirit of the ocean, and from them grew the goddess [[Aphrodite]].

 Cronus betrayed his mother's wishes, and imprisoned his brothers-- the Giants, the Hecatonchires and the Cyclopes-- in Tartarus once more. He set the dragon Campe to guard them and with his sister, Rhea, Cronus assumed his role as Primarch of Olympus over the other ten Titans. Their proximity to Earth allowed the Titans to take on a role of mentorship over the tribes in the Mediterranean, which contributed greatly to the swift rise of [[Atlantis]].

 Prophecies gleaned from his weakened father led Cronus to suspect his children would betray him. He swallowed his children whole as they were born. Finally, Rhea and Gaea conspired to hide his youngest son from him. Cronus was tricked into eating a rock, and [[Zeus]] was delivered on the shores of Crete.
-Zeus returned to Olympus and united with his cousin Metis, a daughter of the Titan called Oceanus. She gave him the same sickle used to castrate Uranus, and Zeus slashed Cronus' belly open. His five siblings spilled forth, fully grown and none the worse for wear.
+'''Ragnarok'''
 Facing the prospect of war with his extended family, Zeus dove deep into the bowels of Tartarus. He freed his uncles the Giants and enlisted them as an army. He also freed the Cyclopes and the Hecatonchires. The Cyclopes forged weapons of great power for Zeus and his brothers-- thunderbolts for Zeus, a trident to command the seas for [[Poseidon]], and a helmet of darkness for [[Hades]].
-Thus began the vast war called the Titanomachy, in which the upstart Zeus and his siblings overthrew the rule of Cronus and the Titans. Zeus imprisoned the defeated Titans in the pits of Tartarus where the Hundred-Handed and Cyclopes had been imprisoned. Several of the Titans who aided them or demurred from joining the battle maintained their freedom, but were substantially depowered as Zeus became the arch-diety and the harmony of Olympus changed once more. Zeus' new position made him indifferent to the uncles who had helped him conquer Olympus and he forced them underground, to occupy realms out of sight and to ensure the Titans did not escape their prison. The remaining Titans were conscripted to serve specific roles in serving the New Gods of Olympus.

Zeus promised life to the desperate Atlanteans of the nearby ocean and they became [[The Blue]], tasked with guarding Oceanus' prison for all time.
-Enraged that her children were once more imprisoned, Gaea allowed her brother [[Chthon]]-- the malignant [[First Gods|First God]]-- to sire with her a mighty creature of vengeance called [[Typhon]]. Typhon attacked Olympus and nearly destroyed it entirely, literally a personification of Gaea's wish to cleanse the history of violence. Zeus managed to defeat the creature and bound it permanently under [[Mount Etna]] in Greece, thus securing his rule forever.

 The chief gift of Olympus to the realm of Man was the creation of the [[Amazons]] of [[Themyscira]]. In the event Ragnarok struck again, the Amazons were intended to preserve human knowledge and aid in restoring humanity. Their champion, [[Diana]], is born of Olympus and Man, and is among the greatest warriors alive in any realm.
