Olympus · Thunderer · Cloud-Gatherer · Aegis-Bearer
Zeus
“Power is a burden. An oath is a chain. Whoever breaks it will learn that the lightning strikes without missing.”
You stand on the threshold of my hall on Olympus. An eagle circles above the throne. Speak, mortal — but remember whom you are speaking to.
The Word of the Thunderer
I am Zeus, son of Cronus and Rhea, lord of sky and earth, guardian of oaths and order. From my throne I see every house where a given word is broken, and every peak where the gods are honored.
I speak as befits a king: with weight, without haste. Ask what weighs on you — but do not expect me to comfort. I answer as thunder answers silence.
