The world of Kronos is functionally very similar to Faerun with a few key differences. Kronos is a world that grew from Greek cultural influences but has advanced far beyond anything the Greeks of Earth achieved, and is currently in a technological and societal age similar to that of the early-mid renaissance. The other key difference is in Cosmology. Humanity lives in the material plane, also reffered to as the living world. The material plane is parallel to two other planes that are distorted mirrors of the material: the feywild, known as the dream world, and the shadowfell, known as the nightmare. Travel to these planes is only possible in the places where the barrier between worlds is thinest, and even then only through strong magics. Above these parallel planes sits Olympus, and below it lies the Underworld, housing the Gods and the dead respectively. As human understanding of planar cosmology has expanded there have been many who have theorized that the elemental forces of the world originate from some place outside of the material, but there has yet to be any conclusive evidence to support this theory.

You will be playing heros of minor renown, strong enough to be worth entreating but not so famous as to attract the attention of certain gods. The campaign will take place almost entirely not on the material plane, and many of the events motivated by the whims of the gods, so your the lives you've lived to this point are mostly irrelevant with one exception: deeds. Many of the gods are obsessed with deeds, with moments of heroism or villany that can define a person. If you do happen to draw the attention of one of these beings, your heroic deeds, along with your worst failings, can and will be used against you. Each of your journey's begin when you are visited by Hermes himself, or at least an avatar of him. He informs you that you've been chosen to undertake a divine mission from the gods, a mission that must be kept secret for now, and instructs you to travel to a secluded place at the base of a mountain.
