Mythical Odysseys of Theros: Derelict Divinity

Created by

Welcome to Theros

The once beloved pantheon is in ruins. Abandoned by their mortal worshippers, the gods are effectively now frozen out from the mortal plane, meaning they have almost no influence or power over the denziens. Temples are dilapilated, days of worship or religious significance have had their sentiment changed. The mortals still believe the gods are real, but are no longer worthy of worship. They are not to be spoken of and any old rhyme, tale, or reference to the gods is not to be mentioned. Most importantly, never worship the gods in public, and hope that no one discovers you worshipping them in private either. While this is a major win for the tired mortals who had been taken advantage off for too long, now the more nefarious and malicious powers can rise up uncontested.

 

ANYTHING IN A BLUE BANNER IS IMPORTANT

While the vast majority of things in the Theros setting remain the same, there are a number of crucial differences in regards to the timeline represented in the Mythical Odysseys of Theros book for D&D, and the Theros blocks for Magic the Gathering, in contrast with my adaptation of both of these sources.

Wherever this banner exists, it aims to help guide you to better understand why things are the way they are what I have changed from the original source.

This world builds upon the most recent instalment in the Theros MTG expansion, Beyond Death. I have made a number of personal adaptations to include a wide variety of races and other additional elements from the D&D universe. This adaption aims to remain truthful to the original lore of Theros.
