Terms

• Olympian Gods/Goddesses: A group of extremely powerful and revered gods who were worshipped throughout history in the Greek Mythos. Also known as the Olympians, these gods and goddesses were led by Zeus, king of the gods and god of the sky. Although morally they seemed to be good, the gods were sometimes tricksters, and would grant very strange punishments upon people; such as cursing random people with immortality, and cursing a prophet to never be believed.

• • Demigods: The children of the gods, conceived using a god and a mortal. Due to the nature of their birth, Demigods were mortals who rose above their peers with exceptional abilities. The most notable of the Demigods was Heracles, son of Zeus and a mortal mother. Heracles, due to his several adventures, was seen as legendary among humans.

• Titans: A titan refers to any of the direct children of Uranus (Heaven) and Gaea (Earth). Titans were unbelievably powerful beings who dwarfed even the gods, so divine and powerful that the time in which they lived was referred to as the Golden Age. Notable titans in Glory of Heracles would be Typhon and Oceanus, who stood in opposition to each other in a battle for the Earth.

• • Eld Gods: A sub-section of the titans, which are also called the elder gods. Including beings such as Oceanus and Prometheus, these elder gods grew enraged with the rise of the newer gods such as Zeus, and engaged in war with them. The eld gods built a super-weapon titan known as Typhon to fight for them, but they lost nonetheless. As a result, Typhon was sealed beneath the Earth, and most of the elder gods were punished.

• Taphus: The Taphoi (plural for Taphus) were created by Daedalus following the defeat of the eld gods, planning for their revenge. When mortals used magic, they exerted Dark Ether, which was then absorbed by the Taphoi. When enough Dark Ether was gathered, the Taphoi would then revive Typhon to destroy the world.

• Crasis: An extremely intricate machine built by Daedalus, following the death of his son Icarus. The Crasis is a machine that had the ability to split the soul of anyone who stood atop it, and infuse said soul within another host; leading to the Heracles incident. Alternatively, if altered, the Crasis can reverse its effects and bring souls back to their original body. Incidents with the Crasis have left some mortals soulless husks.

• Ether: All living things are comprised of a substance known as Ether, which can also be considered lifeforce. Ether is comprised of five elemental attributes; fire, earth, wind, water, and darkness. Because of this, those who know how to channel ether can preform magical elemental attacks. When a living being is killed, their physical body reverts to Ether, which is then absorbed by the person who killed them, and increases their magical power.

Canon

The canon of Glory of Heracles is incredibly simple to figure out, since every single installment is considered canon, and a part of the same timeline of events. The only problem arises with organizing the timeline, as most of the games are not directly tied to one another (aside from The Snap Story, which is a direct continuation to Legend of the Fighting Demon's Lair). The simplest solution would be to place them in order of the game's numbers (II, III, IV).
