DnDBeyond for statblock, racial abilities and features.)
Children of Zeus (Protector), Children of Poseidon (Scourge), Children of Hades (Fallen Aasimar)
Titanborn, also known as Olympus-born, Godborn, divine children; have Olympic blood pumping through their veins. Appearing in the world a few hundred years after the end of the War of the Titans, Titanborn have naturally found their way into many legends throughout Greece. Perseus, Hercules, Achilles, Circe all famous Titanborn, though a number of human mortals claim the heroes' lineage as their own. A large majority of Titanborn find themselves descended from the 'big three' of Olympus - Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. Most Titanborn are not directly born of the Gods, but oftentimes are either grandchildren or great grandchildren, their mortal blood diffusing their Olympic potency over time.
Titanborn are found throughout all of Greece, often located in positions of leadership, council, and entertainment. Innately successful in many social endeavors, some human societies have banished them due to their inferiority or because they do not believe Olympus and mortals should be mixed. Regardless, Titanborn lean on their perseverance and power from their Olympic Blood to endure and press on, committed to whatever goal or purpose they currently serve.
After the Trojan War and with the Gods' disappearance, a number of mortals turned to the Titanborn to lead and guide them, believing they held the last remnants of Olympus. However, a number of other more scared and desperate mortals, believed that the godborn needed to be sacrificed in order to return the Gods. Even with the Gods of Olympus returning, the mortal races continue to believe the Titanborn are either saviors or harbingers of doom.
