The LORE
For too long, the gods have dominated the affairs of men. Zeus and his pantheon of Greek deities have ruled the Mediterranean, while Ra and his legion of Egyptian lords have held sway over the deserts of antiquity. Powerless, mankind has been at the mercy of their fickle ambitions since the dawn of history. Yet even the gods answer to a higher authority: the sisters of Fate. Silently watching the affairs of the cosmos with unknowable wisdom, these three Fates have intervened and declared an end to the reign of gods. Mortals must now be given a chance to prove themselves worthy of self-rule.
The POWER STONES
The only path to victory in the battle with the gods lies in mastering the Power Stones. These magical relics are weapons forged by the Fates themselves. The Stones bestow on their caster the power to summon mythological creatures from legends past and unleash dazzling spells on allies or opponents.
A master Stonecaster must use his arsenal wisely in the war against the gods, for the right strategy is critical if mankind is to emerge victorious.
Indeed, a mortal's very survival depends on the Power Stones, lest he meet his demise at the hands of the deadly bestiary arrayed against him. For the gods rarely play fair -they have stolen the secrets of forging Power Stones and now they too possess the secrets of summoning.
Mytheon is an online, multiplayer Action/RPG with strategic game play where players experience classic mythology come to life and challenge legendary gods to define their own fate. Players, or "Stonecasters,"
have been given the power to defeat the gods by combining and casting magical stones in a battle to determine the destiny of humanity.
Mytheon features an assortment of classes and characters that allow players to approach combat in a unique style that fits their gaming preference.
