Fun fact for Theros: in MTG lore past the book, it’s actually Heliod who’s the butthole bad guy, who kills his champion because she was too awesome… so she came back from the dead to whoop his ass, and he gets Atlas’d by erebos for a while. Subversion!

That alone is the perfect example of how fragile Heliod's ego is... his champion, Elspeth, was killed for being a Planeswalker, not due to how powerfull they can be, but because she could travel to other planes outside of Theros, something Heliod is incapable off and saw as a Threat, wich is similar as to why he despises Kruphix... the main diference here is that Heliod could kill Elspeth, but he cannot even harm or even bother Kruphix in the first place.

One thing that wasn’t mentioned: the gods were created by mortals in Theros. The lore holds that Nyx mingles with the dreams and beliefs of those who live beneath it, and it brings them to life, sometimes imbuing them with divine power. There was a satyr who figured this out and became a god after convincing enough folks to believe in him. It’s also implied that Nyx itself may have a will of its own, therefore making it the only true divinity of the Theros setting.

Yeah. Modern society has “empowered” women. But part of that has resulted in masculinization of our understanding of women’s power. Which misses what the power has been in mythology. Children. New life itself. Renewal. First fruit. It’s a whole other kind of power. As potent and necessary as power comes. I feel like one ought know men cannot but participate in the endeavor. Come from the endeavor. They cannot control it though.

​@@chickenmonger123 I understand you put the word perception in there, deliberately, but I want to lead off a clarification for the benefit of others who read this. It's much less that power held by prominent women is masculine, but that most of world culture regards feminity as weak and ignorant. And the reigns of power have been held by men for so long, that our societies don't have another frame of reference. Patriarchal thinking has so thoroughly eliminated the concept of non-male representation, in the existing halls of power, that women who get involved in everything from chambers of commerce to congress, can easily see the old boy's networks and the big signs saying no girls allowed. It's not formalized in most systems of law-anymore, at least-but the social norms created, under the masculine first and only doctrines, has left women struggling to redefine what feminine power looks like, and everyone else rejecting it every step of the way. The other part, of what you said, that I find interesting is the scare quotes around the word empowered. Yes, women eventually got certain types of parity with men (e.g. voting, bank accounts, credit scores, being just by their gd selves in rare moments), but those things might still be an issue in certain parts of the world, and even in patches of rural space in developed parts of the world as well. And the primary thing that's caused women to seek professional work isn't just because they can; to use the US as an example: here it's because the single mean income-even if we leave the gender pay gap out of the conversation-isn't enough to live on virtually anywhere. Most adults in a 2 parent household HAVE to work in order to meet their own needs, and the needs of their dependents. The primary reason women have any work rights in the US, as anemic as they are, is because we couldn't have an ultrarich caste and maintain a single worker in virtually every household. At the same times that momentus legislation made room for women, black folks, the disabled, and all the other minorities that have received a modicum of legal protections, the rich were speaking into the ears and pockets of politicians to make it happen as well. To them, liberating half of the population means 200% more workers and consumers to exploit for profit. I'm not saying that women wouldn't have created something like capitalism had they had a say in the conversations that birthed it; I'm just saying that our economic systems might not have stalled, or even had the opportunity to grind to a gd standstill, over the last 50 years. It's an idea worth pondering as we untie our ideas of power and masculinity to allow for expressions from the entire spectrum.

One tiny tidbit a lot of people miss: the plane name Theros is a portmanteau of "The Heros", being _the_ plane of Heroes. Some _very_ important notes on Kruphix and Klothys: they are siblings and are the two oldest Gods; and being the oldest gods that were created when Nyx itself was, means they are actually disconnected from the reliance on mortal belief that all other Theros Gods need to exist and grow stronger. Basically, if a Theros God loses all their followers, they will cease to exist and the plane will then retroactively erase all memories of that God ever having existed, except these two. In fact, Klothys was in the underworld jailing the Titans for so long that no mortals had any memory or records of her existence, but she still survived and is still one of the strongest. And Kruphix knew about other planes and the multiverse and such even before the New Phyrexian invasion. Also, Ephara got a huge roll in said invasion, since she is also the god of shelter, so when people's friends and family and even their own Gods got compleated, they turned to Ephara for protection. Kruphix is also neat because Theros is physically a discworld with a literal Edge of the World you can fall off, and Kruphix's temples are, being the god of horizons, typically right on that edge of the world. Keranos isn't really a dick, he's more the god of inspiration. "Getting a jolt of inspiration" or "struck by inspiration, as though by lightning" type of thing. Pharika is more self-perpetuating than you'd think since, even though she's the god of medicine, she isn't really balanced between that and poison. She's a lot more poison and only a little medicine really. Heliod's the biggest dick of the lot though. He has the biggest ego, and wants to kill anything that could potentially threaten his self-proclaimed position as top God. So when he found out the truth about his champion Elspeth - that she was a planeswalker that could travel to other worlds, while he could not - he felt so threatened that he stole her spear-sword and killed her with it himself. He also hated Erebos because earlier in that story, Elspeth had to travel to the Underworld (a mortal going there without dying is only allowed by undertaking a terrible trial by one of the Gods to gain a favor), and instead of taking the free win and boosting Heliod's power (Elspeth was becoming very well known to all mortals of Theros) she instead took Erebos' trial and passed it even though Erebos' was arguably the hardest possible one for her to pick.

Also Hades himself is pretty dang wealthy, he owns everything that's underground including the valuable minerals and ores. Pharika is an interesting dichotomy of both healing cures and baleful poisons as well as snakes. I like snakes and think them being mixed in this way is neat. She encourages both healing and harm for the sake of knowledge of the world's many secrets. I wanna play a devotee of hers whose out to learn the ultimate poison as well as it's cure.

As a guy who RELIGIOUSLY loves Theros and has the book and the mtg cards, lemme tell you, The more you learn about Klothys and Kruphix, the more you gotta love 'em. They don't require mortal worship and are the original gods of the plane of Theros. Kruphix holds dominion over ALL other gods by closing their effects on the mortal realm... and this is by default. Mortal belief doesn't do jack shit against this god. They're the STRONGEST beings on the planes outside of planeswalkers.

Honestly Heliod spends as much time as Erebos being the bad guy, if not more.

I think it would be funny to have Nicol Bolas or something turn Heliod into a god-eternal.

I wonder what a return to Theros would look like. since they went through some things recently and 10 to 13 of the gods are gone.

Ephara the God of the Polis and Beating Ass! In MTG so far we've seen her kill Cacophony, the newborn God of Cities, and beat a corrupted version of Erebos. When all the mono-colored gods got corrupted, died or ran away she endured!

Dmed once a Captain in Theros and to be honest it was very interesting making heliod in to the evil Gut and showing how Bad True Order can be BY THE WAY interesting idea for a Final villain in theros, someone who angered the gods and Mate To Suffer for eternity, Then escaped and now hunts gods
